Acura Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Service

Servicing Your Acura’s ABS

Some of the finer things in life are when there are zero lights being ignored on your dashboard. Often times, there is usually one light people just save for another day because they either think it is no big deal or, they simply just don’t know what the light on means. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) typically falls into one of the two categories, which for as small as it may seem, can become quite a big deal.

What is Your ABS?

Your anti-lock brake system is what helps your car stay in control when braking suddenly, especially when conditions may not be ideal. It keeps your tires on the ground and helps to prevent your car from hydroplaning too much.

Is your ABS light on?

Everything on your car will need some service eventually. The next time your ABS light comes on, bring it in to see us at McGrath Acura. We can take a quick look and diagnose the problem. If you wait too long, the cost and repairs needed are both likely to increase.

Is your ABS light on?

Sometimes it turns on when you start up your car and then turns off shortly after. This is typically nothing to worry about as your car is just doing a test to make sure everything is firing appropriately.
It stays on – your brakes will work, your car will work fine. However, if you need a fast and hard brake, you are more likely to be in some trouble.
ABS + Brake Light Duo – please do not drive your car anywhere except to a certified service center. When these two lights are on together, your brakes are less likely to fire as they should.
