The short answer is yes, the ABS system can affect the transmission. Here's a more detailed explanation:
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during heavy braking. This helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle and avoid skidding or sliding. The ABS system does this by constantly monitoring the speed of each wheel and automatically applying and releasing brake pressure as needed.
However, because the ABS system is constantly making tiny adjustments to brake pressure, it can put additional stress on the transmission. This can lead to transmission problems over time, such as premature wear or even failure. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the transmission sooner than if the vehicle didn't have an ABS system.
