if you really want to get a better idea of how abs works watch ABS Operation by engineeringauto this the the name of the person on youtube, it explains the way it works a little better then this video
my abs locks out my back brakes and only brakes on front brakes ,it's been bleed for air 2 times. it only lets me brake with back brakes after its almost completly stopped. it's a problem with braking on ice. explain that.
i have a 2001 chevy blazer 4x4 4.3 engine. i have abs and brake light lit at all times on my dash. so i scanned it with an abs scanner "actron" and the following codes came up. c0281 stop lamp switch c0265 ebcm motor relay circuit c0251 c0246 c0242 c0252 c0245 c0241 whichall 6 codes say ebcm control valve circuit c0226 left front wheel speed signal missing and c0222 right front wheel speed signal missing. and my brakes go all the way to the floor very mushy please help!
But then if you know how to brake well without the ABS, at most times it's faster to stop than a car equipped with ABS. In fact, some people don't like the ABS in their cars that they just remove it since they can brake faster and more efficent without it.
I dont really get the point of abs. It only kicks in when you're braking so hard that the tyres might lock, and if you're braking that hard, chances are you WANT the tyres to lock so you can stop as quickly as possible. Sure, abs will mean you wont go sideways while you do this, but i would rather go sideways and stop rather than be able to turn but smash into the car infront. If you need to swerve hard just release the brakes a bit and turn.
@LethalJizzle From what you said I'm pretty sure you never drive before (underage), or never been into that situation. Trust me if its wet out there, driving at 45 miles an hour, notice a car coming out of an intersection 30 feet from you, your reflex is to HIT HARD on the brake. The brake will work for a few feet then it will let go and you are SKIDDING straight into the car. Thats when you lock your wheels. No, you wont go sideway with no ABS. You will only slide straight forward.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD I SLAM ON THE BRAKES ON A VERY SLIPPERY ROAD? Like a icy road or a road with an inch or water! For starters,if you are really going that fast,then ABS wont do shit! I would take my foot off the gas,then hit the brakes lightly to the point where I don't slip. ABS=Absolute Bull Shit! Then on a DRY road when you NEED to stop,you can't with abs,the brake slips til you smash the persons car in front of you! Stay off the road if you don't know how to drive in bad weather, I DO!
What a great video. Very simply explains how ABS works. I'm always trying to explain it to my friends with little to no knowledge of vehicles, this video does it perfectly, without being to technical and loosing the non car savvy person.

What they didn't say was Mercedes invented ABS in 1970 and many other "standard" items in cars today.
