Troubleshooting Common ABS and SRS Issues
ABS Issues:
- ABS Light On: This could indicate a problem with the ABS module, wheel speed sensors, or the hydraulic system. The i900 can help you narrow down the source.
- Wheels Locking Up: If your wheels lock up during braking, it could be a sign of a faulty ABS sensor or a problem with the hydraulic control unit.
- Grinding Noise During Braking: This may point to a worn-out ABS pump or motor. The i900’s live data stream can help you assess pump and motor function.
SRS Issues:
- Airbag Light On: This usually signals a problem within the airbag system, such as a faulty sensor, a deployed airbag, or a wiring issue.
- Seat Belt Pretensioner Malfunction: If your seat belt pretensioners aren’t working correctly, it can prevent them from properly restraining you in a crash. The i900 can help identify issues with pretensioner circuits.
- Airbag Deployment Issues: In the event of an airbag deployment, the i900 can assist in diagnosing any faults or issues with the deployment system.
