ABS light requires attention and verification in the workshop

Is it a danger for the ABS brake warning light to come on on the dashboard? Cause for concern? Yes. But going quickly to the workshop is unnecessary because the ABS system prevents the car from sliding when the driver weighs on the brake pedal in an emergency or if there is sand, water or oil on the asphalt.

When the ABS system light on the dashboard comes on, it means that this electronic system may not be working. And the worst thing is that the car slides on the asphalt and increases the braking space due to the lack of the ABS guardian angel.

However, the normal hydraulic brake system when the driver steps on the pedal will continue to work normally.
