If you feel the brake pulsating when ABS is working, what should you do?

When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is engaged, it can cause a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal. This is a normal response indicating that the system is actively preventing wheel lockup during hard braking conditions. While it may feel unusual, it's not typically a cause for alarm when ABS is functioning properly.

However, if you experience this sensation frequently or in conditions where you believe your ABS should not be engaging, it may be a warning sign of a malfunction or an underlying issue with your braking system. Taking your vehicle to a service center is a proactive step to ensure that everything is functioning correctly and safely, as ignoring potential issues could lead to more serious problems down the line.

Continuing to drive without concern may not be advisable if the pulsating persists outside of normal braking scenarios. Similarly, simply checking the brake fluid or ignoring the pulsation does not address the potential issue or validate the operational status of the ABS. Ensuring your vehicle's safety systems are working correctly is essential for safe driving.
