Your Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lock-up during sudden stops, allowing you to steer and maintain control under heavy braking. It’s a complex network of sensors, valves, and control modules that constantly monitor wheel speed and brake pressure.

When something goes wrong, the ABS warning light appears—but the cause can range from a simple sensor fault to a communication issue within the control module. Common causes include:

• Faulty or contaminated wheel speed sensors
• Damaged tone rings or wiring
• Air or debris in the hydraulic control unit
• Failed pump motor or valve block
• Module power or ground loss

Our ASE-certified technicians perform live data analysis and circuit testing to isolate the root cause, not just clear the light.

At The Garage MKG, we diagnose ABS systems using factory-level tools and procedures. Our process combines data analysis, circuit verification, and hydraulic inspection to ensure accuracy before any repairs are made.

Here’s what you can expect:

• System scan and fault code retrieval
• Live wheel-speed and brake-pressure data analysis
• Power, ground, and signal circuit testing
• Verification of pump and solenoid operation
• Post-repair confirmation and road test

We document every step through your Complete Vehicle Health Report, including fault codes, test results, and technician notes for full transparency.
