ABS System Service
More times than not, your dashboard lights are left on and unattended for much longer than they should. Your ABS light typically falls into that category. Your ABS is the anti-lock braking system that exists to keep your car from skidding dangerously while braking. It automatically recognizes when your wheels are working to stop and releases the appropriate amount of fluid pressure. Without this, your wheels would lock up, causing your car to skid.

The team at Cable Dahmer Cadillac understand the importance of this component to work properly. Our professional team offers an ABS system service to take a deep look at the issue, accurately diagnose the problem and fix is to manufacturer standards.
- What causes your ABS light to ignite?
- A blown fuse for the system
- A wheel-speed sensor that is damaged or covered by road grime
- A broken wire between the sensors and the ABS controller
- An ABS controller that has stopped working
Other times it may be just a malfunctioning ABS that is in need of a system service and internal diagnostics. Low fluid levels in the reservoir are another reason the light may turn on. If you notice your brakes are spongy when applied, their fluid levels could be low and should be replenished as quickly as possible.
When your ABS light turns on, especially after noticing a consistent reduction in brake performance, brake shaking or squealing, we highly recommend to stop driving your car immediately. When this happens, there is likely a problem with your braking system as a whole.
As with other car maintenance and issues, if any are left unattended for too long, it can cause expensive and unnecessary repairs later down the road. It's much more efficient to take care of any issue as soon as it arises to save time and money.
