what does abs means in my car
ABS is part of your braking system and it stands for Anti Lock Brakes. There are two ways to tell whether you have ABS brakes. There will be a light on your dash when you start your car up and then it goes out and if you brake really hard you will feel a pulsation from the brake pedal. If the light is permanently on the dash that means there is a problem with one of the sensors and should be looked at. Your brakes still work but your ABS is not. ABS allows you to brake and steer at the same time, provided you look where you want to go! It allows you to do this by pulsating the brakes.
