Anti-lock Brakes and Drum brakes?
I have always wondered about how the abs system works on cars with a front disc/rear drum layout. Does abs only work on wheels that are disc or will it work on wheels that are drum as well? So on a car like this would only the front (disc brakes) have the abs feature? Thanks|||There is a gear-like disc attached to the inside of the wheel, %26amp; a sensor that almost touches it. When the wheel rotates, the sensor counts the number of gear teeth that pass by it, %26amp; thru that the computer can tell exactly how fast that wheel is turning. This gear disc is separate from the brakes, so it can be used with disc or drum brakes.|||The gear is in the rear end around the ring and it picks up its signal using a magnet that mounts on the housing...
What is my car worth?
It's a 2002 Chev Cavalier, plain (no power windows or cc, etc.) has anti-lock brake system 70 000 km on it, no rust or dents, no engine problems, nothing. Automatic.|||http://www.cars.com/go/kbb/kbbMain.jsp?y鈥?/a>

What is vehicle abs and ebs?
Now a days coming in all vehicle eqipped with ABS and EBS mans anti lock braking system and electonic braking system...but what is the defination and function of thease?|||ABS kicks in when you really cram the brake pedal down, like in a panic stop. Without ABS, all four wheels will lock-up in a panic stop, which means you have no steering. The ABS system will pulse the brakes, keeping them almost locked, but allowing a tiny bit of wheel rotation, so you will still have some steering available. You do not have to do anything different to get the advantage of the ABS braking, %26amp; you will feel the pulsing in the brake pedal.|||ABS and EBS is samething different name. EBS Electronic braking system.
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (that is, ceasing rotation) and therefore avoiding skidding.
An ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces for many drivers; however, on loose surfaces like gravel or snow-covered pavement, an ABS can significantly increase braking distance, although still improving vehicle control.[1]
Since initial widespread use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have evolved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias. This function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known as electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).

Does the Toyota Corolla S 2008 have ABS?
I'm about to start driving soon and a Toyota Corolla Type-S 2008 is already waiting for me downstairs, but I just came from driving school and we started talking about how ABS could allow me to have more control over my vehicle during snow, rain etc. I need to know this just in case when I hit the road if I have to pump my brakes OR if I just have to stomp on it.
ABS I mean Anti-Lock Brake System..|||ABS was an option on all '08 Corollas. Other safety options like brake assist, side curtain airbags, and front seat side airbags were also optional.
Since it is not always easy to tell if these things come on the car, take the car to the dealer and talk to a service adviser. They can tell you what optional safety features are on the car.|||It is an option.
To Determine ABS or not - trurn ignition ON (do not start) - and watch the lights in the instrument panel. Most of the lights only stay on for a couple seconds - so you may have to turn on and off several times to see them all. If you see an "ABS" check light come on - then the vehicle has ABS.|||Anti means against....
brake system
Against brake system
hahahahahahahahaaaaa|||I just traded in my 2007 Corolla S, it did have ABS but it was an optional thing I paid extra for, it doesn't come standard.|||Yes and so you know when car has ABS the emergency brake is back up to brakes if they fail.

I am confused about my car it is a 2004 Ford Explorer and I am dumb when it comes to cars!?
I was wondering it has no four wheel drive and it has no front wheel drive how do you tell if it has rear wheel drive? What is the anti lock braking system for does it substatute for front wheel drive? It has Michalin tires cross terrain teadwear 480 traction A Temp B are those kind of tires good for winter? Are these all season tires? What is the panic button for on the keys and the red light tat flashes on the dash when the car is off is this an anti theft system? Thanks for all the answers!|||The red flashing light is to indicate that the Alarm is engaged. It's rear wheel drive if there is no four wheel drive. Anti-lock breaks do nothing regarding four wheel or two wheel drive performance, all about breaking, they are good to have on ice and snow however. The panic button just sets off your alarm if you see someone around your car and want the alarm to go off, or so you can find it in a dense parkinglot. Your tires are okay in the winter, they're all season which is good because snow tires must be changed once the snow and ice are gone.|||If it doesn't have 4 wheel drive, and goes down the road, it definitely has rear wheel drive if it doesn't have front wheel drive. Otherwise it would just sit there.
Open the glove box, look for a manual. It will tell you all about the car and how to use the various controls, and what the flashing lights mean.|||oklatom is correct in saying it is rear wheel drive. anti lock braking is for when your vehicles wheels are not all turning the same speed it takes over and will brake to try to make you avoid an accident. Talk to a tech at a dealership, they will be glad to assist you. If you need anything else email me at rtrobinson@cell1net.net

How can I tell if my car has ABS?
without going really fast and slamming the brakes...
I have an '89 Toyota Cressida, and this model comes optional with ABS (anti-lock brake system). I know that newer cars have the "ABS" lights that show up on the dash, but my car doesnt show it. So, how can I find out if my vehicle has ABS?
Thanks, appreciate it,
-Richard|||The easiest way is to just go in a parking lot and slam on the brakes. If your wheels lock and you slide you dont have ABS, if you feel a wierd shaky feeling in the brake pedal and your tires dont slide you have ABS. I know you said not to but it won't do any damage to your car, you should only have to go about 25mph, if your car cant handle that then it shouldnt be on the road.|||Turn your key to the on position but not to the start ignition
If you do not have an ABS light then you most likely do not have ABS brakes
Look in the owners manual to see if it specifically states which model you have and which has ABS
Physically lie down near the front or rear tires and look for a thin cable (about half as thick as a television cable) that runs along the strut or shock and inserts into the back of the wheel. Do not confuse this with a hydraulic brake hose (which is a little thicker than a television cable). An ABS cable will not conjoin a steel tube or line as a hydraulic brake hose will eventually.
Disassemble a tire or look behind a wheel to see if you see a cogged ABS ring with a computerized sensor touching it. This sensor would be attached to the aforementioned cable and the location of this ABS ring would be on the back of where the wheel meets the hub. If there's a cable running there, you probably don't have to crawl under to see if there's an ABS ring that it runs to. It'll be there.|||If the breaks are in good condition, go to a large parking lot or vacant street. You can test the system to see if you have ABS by speeding up and slamming on the breaks. If you have ABS, you will not be able to make the breaks lock up and skid. The break peddle will "vibrate" under the pressure of you foot, which is the system "pumping" the breaks very quickly. This is why the breaks won't lock up.
Keep in mind that your car is 20 years old and even if it does have ABS, they might not work correctly.|||If the ABS light doesn't turn on for a short time when you first start the car, it probably doesn't have it. Look under the hood for the ABS pump, and hardlines going to what may look like a block into it. This might be a telltale sign of whether you have it or not.
If not go to the dealer and bring your vin number in, and they can tell you based upon the vin number whether or not your car had it originally from the factory.|||you will have a twin outlet master cylinder if you have ABS on an 89 model car
There will be a cylinder shaped gizmo between the front and back brakes in the hydraulic line.
All ABS systems work by operating the front/back brake circuits independently, so there will be two independent hydraulic circuits.
Conventional braking systems only need one brake circuit|||go under your car and look at the axle shaft, if it has teeth around the outter area of the anxle then yes its ABS, if not then no. also if there is a wire to the axle area where your wheel is, this would be your ABS sensor to the sensor ring.|||It will prolly say it somewhere on the car on the inside like on the steering wheel or on the dashboard, just look around and if you don't see it then you prolly don't have it.|||well if the light dont come up, you probably dont have it. look for an ABS fuse maybe. or take off the wheels and look for ABS components. or just go wicked fast and jump on the brakes. lol|||abs insignia somewhere on car
abs light on dashboard/ instrument panel|||Sometimes it will say abs on the brake pedal

How do you replace the (ABS) sensors on the wheel hub of a 1997 Mercury Cougar?
for those who don't know (ABS) is Anti-lock Braking System|||The sensors are held into the hub with one bolt. Remove that bolt, wiggle the sensor out of it's hole, unplug it from other end of the wiring harness, and remove the mounting bracket in the middle of the cable. Installation is the reverse.|||You don't, you buy new wheel hubs and sensors and put them together.
I've never successfully removed a bad ABS sensor from a wheel hub. They always crush or break due to years of being hot and then cold and covered in road grime.
