When the ABS is working the brake pedal will have a pulsing sensation. I believe that is what your GF experienced but not much people have the balls to test their ABS on the road. When I was working for KIA before Toyota. When customer complains ABS not working. I will just drive the customer and his car to a parking lot. Drive up to 80km/h then just stomp the brake really hard and don't let go. When I say stomp you really really press the brake like you are clinging to your life that time you will know if your ABS works. You can feel the tire lock, loose lock ,loose very fast and still can turn the steering. The pedal you will feel it pulsating.

Most average drivers when they feel the brake pedal pulsing they let go thinking it got problem then bang! you can try go out ask 10 drivers how ABS feel in actual and I can tell you 9 people will tell you don't know

So beyonce standard, want me to test your ABS for you?

if ABS not working usually the CEL will come up then plug in a diag tools it will tell you which wheel speed sensor is not working. If wheel speed sensor not working your ECU can't know the sudden decrease in vehicle speed to activate the ABS.

Didn't see any dented but you should let workshop people check properly first.
If condition still OK, then just repaint only nia. The bumper not metal parts so won't rust one.

mieza, can you share the whole picture of your bumper with the " drive so fast for what" sticker?

tq for enlighten me.. now I knw hows abs work n the purpose.
Ok.. I only encounter once in a myvi n once in my saga for emergency brake aka abs activated. Myvi on genting road.. saga on wet road.. I am juz wondering how come the sound of the brake is so horrible n i will describe it like using a hammer hitting the disc brake continuously. Very load n scary. I started tolost confident as the brake seems like not going to serve for the purpose.

Sometimes is fast n furious but always safety come 1st. Im not those a beng who tiong ppl mia. As I understand the road is for everyone since every1 is playing their road tax n i wont act selfish testing my car limit or performance on road.

Btw.. thx for all the feedback. Appreciate

no need to worry, i once activated abs on my father's civic and also in my flx, done few hard/emergency braking, all loud and scary, even tho it's loud, it is safe, if not i already hit the car in front of me.

for peace of mind, do expect what's in front and apply brake gradually, also helps in fuel consumption

DRIVE FAST FOR WHAT? - famous quote from mieza.

Beyonce, don't test ABS on road test in empty car parks.....away from the road. Much safer.....when ABS work you can sometimes hear tuk tuk tuk tuk sound much like hammering something it's normal. ABS works according to your vehicle speed. The higher the sudden decrease in speed the faster the ABS works because the wheel speed sensor is feeding information to the ABS module on your vehicle speed. ABS working principle is sort of like threshold braking.

But if you follow another car too close even ABS cannot safe you....

V12K, siapa jadi tester oh....Hahahaha....very hard to have owner who would jam kao kao their brakes....sayang car.....

Another thing is our driving school also need to add in the that for cars with ABS if emergency brake need to step on the brake pedal hard because I remember back in my days when I take my license the teacher keep telling me not to press too hard on brakes during emergency to avoid brake lock.

lol. where got february got 30 ma.

yup, same goes to my era. The instuctor told me to step on brakes softly.

So, I think this is the reason why ABS brake system is used the wrong way in Malaysia. Have to properly educate them.

V12, yeah...my nightmare was sitting in a car driven by a girl she's from KL and she was fetching me in her Altis and she manage to hit the car in front although there was enough space to avoid it.

I told her your car got ABS mah why didn't press the brake hard...her reply..I don't know woh.... =.=' sweat kao kao me.....

test drive car not equipped with ABS liao.
i tak diajar untuk emergency brake. i only diajar untuk tekan brake pelan-pelan.
i think is common sense to brake hard when needed.

Ayam same era with you....but my instructor taught me no such thing

In fact, sometimes my instructor falls asleep while I was driving

what era?
meaning that he's got so much faith in u ma.
