The ABS computer is the controller that monitors the data incoming from tire-speed monitors, and controls the opening of the valves of the ABS system.

Both the ABS computer and other ABS components of a vehicle can be kept in good shape if maintained well. One tip is to keep the brakes of the vehicle clean at all times to ensure that the brake fluid runs through it, as well as against it, efficiently. Another tip is to avoid the excessive use of anti-brakes, instead only when the need arises. This increases the lifespan of the brakes in addition to the ABS computer itself.
