Abs Diagnosis: Introduction: Notes

The ABS operates differently from conventional brake systems. These differences include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that owners and service technicians who are not familiar with ABS may not be used to.

Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply signs of normal ABS operation. When diagnosing the ABS system, keep these operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance characteristics to expect from an ABS-equipped vehicle.
