Are your tires in good shape? Brake fluid at proper level? Have you had a spell of "road-slick" weather? ABS comes on when the wheel speed sensors register a mismatch, meaning one wheel has lost traction and ABS should engage. Check the simple stuff like your tires and brake fluid first. If the sensor or ABS control unit is out you should get a warning light on your dash. ABS is not something a shadetree mechanic should work on.

What are the advantages of a good braking system?

The main advantage of a good braking system is the ability to stop quickly and efficiently in case of an emergency. Also a good brake system means you have less to worry about while driving.

What is braking system?

It's a system developed in aviation and now used also in cars, that prevents a wheel from 'locking up' under heavy braking. It releases pressure and then re-applies it very quickly. This prevents skidding.

Does your braking distance decrease if you are going downhill?

Braking distance may increase when going downhill because gravity is working against the brake system, causing the vehicle to maintain momentum. The added force of gravity can make it more difficult for the brakes to slow down the vehicle quickly. Drivers should use caution and brake at a safe distance to account for the increased braking distance.
