5 Signs Of A Bad ABS
Module In Your Mini
Cooper S

2.
What’s an ABS?

3.
It stands for the anti-lock or
anti-skid braking system.

4.
It's designed to prevent
wheels from locking up
and skidding during the
heavy braking condition.

5.
It was invented by Gabriel Voisin in the
mid-1900s and has the following parts:-
A control module
Wheel speed sensors
A pump (to create pressure)
Valves (to release pressure)

6.
All of these components work
together to prevent your
MINI’s wheels from seizing
under braking.

7.
In addition to this, it
allows you to steer your
vehicle to safety.

8.
What does the ABS
control module do?

9.
It's the brain of your Mini
Cooper's ABS.

10.
It serves to regulate the
brake pressure in an
attempt to prevent your
MINI’s wheels from
seizing.

11.
To do that, it relies on wheel
speed and other types of
sensors.

12.
If it goes bad, your brakes
might exhibit strange
behaviors and put your
safety in jeopardy.

13.
You can recognize a faulty ABS
controller by the following
means.

14.
To begin with, let’s discuss
the reasons behind ABS
control module failure in
your Mini Cooper S.

15.
What causes an
ABS module to go
bad?

16.
Some of the most common reasons
behind ABS module failure in your MINI
are as follows:-
Contaminant accumulation
Faulty sensors
Damaged wiring
Electrical problems

17.
What are the
symptoms of a bad
ABS control
module?

18.
ABS Light Comes On

19.
This is the most obvious sign
of a bad ABS controller in your
Mini Cooper S.

20.
Therefore, if your ABS light
is blinking, you should
check if its controller is
working or not.

21.
If the module is damaged,
consider installing new ones.

22.
Unresponsive Brakes

23.
Usually, this happens due to
the low or contaminated brake
fluid in your car.

24.
But, in some cases, a bad
ABS controller can make
your brakes unresponsive.

25.
If your MINI's brakes aren't
responding to your command,
you're in big trouble.

26.
So, it is in your best
interest to identify and
repair the problem in the
brakes ASAP.

27.
Speedometer Not Working

28.
Some of the most common reasons
behind speedometer malfunction in your
MINI are:-
Faulty sensors
Bad wiring

29.
But, in rare cases, a
problematic ABS controller can
make the speedometer
stopped working.

30.
Brakes Lock Up Randomly

31.
If the brakes of your car
are locking up randomly
even during a normal
braking event, it signals
ABS control module
failure.

32.
Such a problematic braking
system can put your safety in
jeopardy.

33.
Increased Braking Distance

34.
A rise in the braking
distance is another
recognizable symptom of
ABS controller failure in
your MINI.

35.
Wrapping Up

36.
A faulty ABS can put your
safety in jeopardy.

37.
So, if you’re suspecting
that your MINI’s ABS
controller is failing, don’t
waste your time
contemplating the issue.

38.
Call your car mechanic
immediately so that he can
diagnose and fix the problem
without delay.
