The Automatic Braking System (ABS) of modern Toyotas is made up of parts that ultimately help prevent the wheels from locking up while driving on the road. One such part, which can also be thought of as the heart of the ABS, is the ABS control module that comes integrated with the car's computer system. By running diagnostic checks of your Toyota's ABS and processing the information such as wheel-speed and hydraulic brake function, the control module is able to calculate the optimal moment to release braking pressure for a wheel showing signs of locking up and thus averting probable skidding.

Although the ABS control module is designed to last the entire life of the car, it could malfunction (often due to lack of use) at any time. When the ABS control module begins to fail, your Toyota might begin to show several signs such as the wheels locking up, an unresponsive brake pedal, increased brake force, ABS that is indiscriminately running, and a perpetual lighting up of the ABS dashboard light. Don't hesitate to get your ABS control module checked to prevent any possible accidents caused by the above symptoms.
