The Science Behind How ABS Brakes Work ABS brakes work by monitoring the wheel revolutions and detecting when one or more wheels are rotating slower than the others, indicating that it’s about to lock up and skid. In that case, the ABS controller module commands the valves in the hydraulic unit to release brake pressure to that wheel until it sees it rotating again at the same speed as the others. Then, it applies pressure to that wheel again. This release/apply cycle repeats multiple times per second, increasing friction with … Read More
