This may explain the loss of steering control when you&#8217;re slowing down for a corner. Like this downhill turn, right &#8230; there, as you blow straight past it with the wheels skidding and the steering cranked over hard against the stop<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>ABS has become pretty much standard equipment on most vehicles. Sensors tell a computer when a wheel stops rotating, which indicates\u2014at least when the vehicle still has forward speed\u2014that the brakes have overpowered the available traction at that particular wheel. The computer then directs a hydraulic valve to release some brake fluid pressure to the wheel to let it rotate again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This process repeats many times per second until the vehicle stops or you lift your foot off the brake pedal. The ABS computer does a power-on self test every time you cycle the ignition. If it finds it&#8217;s lacking data, or a hydraulic pump or valve isn&#8217;t responding, it illuminates the ABS warning light on the dash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the river and through the woods was more dangerous back when cars had crummy bias-ply tires, rear-wheel drive and ordinary brakes.
