No, anti-lock brakes (ABS) are not always activated when you depress the brakes. ABS is designed to engage only during specific conditions, such as when the wheels are about to lock up during hard braking or slippery surfaces. Under normal braking conditions, the system remains inactive, allowing for standard braking performance. When activated, ABS helps maintain steering control and prevents skidding by modulating brake pressure.

How do you know if a trailer has antilock brakes?

To determine if a trailer has antilock brakes, you can look for an ABS (Antilock Braking System) indicator light on the trailer's brake controller, which typically illuminates when the system is activated. Additionally, check the trailer's specifications or owner’s manual, as they often indicate whether ABS is included. Physically inspecting the brake system for ABS components, such as wheel speed sensors and an ABS control module, can also confirm its presence. Lastly, you can consult with the manufacturer or a professional mechanic for verification.
