To determine if the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is working properly, you can perform a few checks. First, observe the ABS warning light on your dashboard; it should turn off after starting the vehicle. Additionally, during a test drive, apply the brakes firmly in a safe area to see if the ABS engages, which will feel like a rapid pulsing in the brake pedal. Lastly, if you notice any unusual noises or a lack of braking effectiveness, it may indicate a problem with the system.

During braking, you should feel a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is actively preventing wheel lock-up. Additionally, you can perform a controlled test by braking hard on a slippery surface; if the wheels do not lock and the vehicle maintains steering control, the ABS is likely working correctly. Regular maintenance and having the system inspected during routine service can also ensure its proper function.
