The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is the foundation of active safety in every modern vehicle. Its main task is to prevent the wheels from locking during sudden braking, allowing the driver to maintain full control over the car in emergency situations. The brain of this entire system is the electronic controller, which is most often integrated with the hydraulic ABS pump.
This device processes data from wheel speed sensors in fractions of a second and decides when to open and close the solenoid valves. Unfortunately, like any advanced electronics, this controller is prone to failure. One of the most serious issues is the complete burning out of the module. Learn how to recognize this fault, why you should avoid non-original aftermarket replacements, and how to permanently solve the problem.
