what in the blue hizell is the difference? I know i have one of them and i think it's anti lock brakes because even when i floor the brakes, my car never makes them screech sounds and shows that cloud of smoke, in fact, it feels as if i'm hydroplaning cause i press it and im still moving more than i expect to but it saved me one time when i was in ice driving down springfield ave....however i can't tell what's the difference between the two....someone clear this up for me?

 

ABS=Anti-lock brake system and it is 4 wheel so there is NO difference.

 

ABS = Anti-Lock Braking System

Same.

You're probably thinking of TCS or something similar, Traction Control System.

ABS works only when you brake ... if your wheels lock up, it will pulsate your brakes to allow you to control your car.

TCS will detect wheel slip while the car is moving. If this happens, it will retard fuel and/or vary the brakes to allow better control under slippery conditions.

Helpful, I hope.

 

VERY

thanks

 

i have regular disc brakes and my car doesnt screetch either

 

Then you have brake problems...
