"1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24: The Anti-lock Breaking System Warning Light Problems"

Bright White 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 Front Left View

Just bought a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 and noticed (when I bought it) that it has ABS, it was slippery out today, so I decided to try it. It didn’t work, I just locked up the brakes and slid for a second. But the ABS light didn’t turn on on the dash board. It does come on for a second when the car is first started (like it’s supposed to). What could be wrong?
Answer: When you start the car the computer checks all the systems, your abs light should be off. Normally the light comes on when there is a problem, most people do not realize what abs is or does, it’s not something you can feel, and if you are driving too fast for conditions your still screwed if you crash. It’s supposed to help you maintain control by the computer sensing what each wheel is doing thousands of times per second, to fast to feel or tell what its doing. And yes, ice is SLIPPERY IF YOU CANT STAND UP YOUR CAR MAY HAVE A SPOT OF TROUBLE TOO YA THINK? Sounds like you stopped anyway good that’s what you do, drive normally, and if you ever have to slam on the brakes in wet or dry pavement the anti lock brakes which are normally on only the front help keep the wheel turning so you can dodge or do what ever to maintain control.
