Anti-Lock Brake Diagnostics and Repair from Your Local Pewaukee Auto Repair Shop

ASE-Certified Mechanics Providing ABS Warning Light Diagnostics, Sensor Testing and Brake System Repair

Our auto repair shop in Pewaukee provides thorough anti-lock brake system diagnostics and repair for foreign and domestic vehicles. The ABS helps drivers maintain steering control during hard braking by preventing the wheels from locking. Because the system depends on wheel-speed sensors, wiring, hydraulic components and an electronic control module, accurate testing is essential before any parts are replaced.

An illuminated ABS warning light does not always mean your basic brakes have stopped working, but it does mean an important safety system may be disabled. Our experienced Waukesha County mechanics use professional diagnostic equipment to retrieve trouble codes, inspect related components and identify the actual cause of the warning. Prompt service can help prevent additional damage and restore the braking performance your vehicle was designed to provide.

When should your anti-lock brake system be inspected?

5 Signs Your Vehicle May Need ABS Service

Anti-lock brake problems can be caused by damaged sensors, contaminated tone rings, wiring faults, low brake fluid or hydraulic system failures. Schedule an inspection when you notice any of the following symptoms:

1. The ABS warning light stays on: A warning light that remains illuminated after startup usually means the control module has detected a fault and may have disabled anti-lock operation.

2. The brakes behave differently during a hard stop: Unexpected pulsing, wheel lockup or reduced steering control during emergency braking may indicate that the ABS is not operating correctly.

3. The traction-control light is also illuminated: Many vehicles share wheel-speed information between the ABS and traction-control systems, so one sensor problem can trigger multiple warning lights.

4. The brake pedal feels unusual: A stiff, inconsistent or rapidly pulsing pedal during normal braking can point to a hydraulic, sensor or control-system concern that requires professional testing.

5. A wheel-speed sensor or bearing was recently damaged: Road debris, corrosion and worn wheel bearings can damage sensor signals and cause intermittent ABS faults.
