ABS of new City 2010

[omkhan]

Car skids when the wheels get locked and are not rotating. ABS does not let that happen. (Anti-Lock braking system). If any or all of the tyres getting locked despite having an ABS, it means something is wrong.

i believe the City has EBD as well. Doesn't make sense to have EBD without 4 wheel ABS.

A car with 4 wheels ABS is not supposed to skid. if its skidding either there is some problem with tires or ABS unit. Skidding means one or more than one tires have been locked resulting in skidding.

2nd query how come ABS is not supposed to be activated in daily driving. Yesterday a cycle wala just poped out from no where infront of me and I stamped the brakes and ABS kicked in with full force , at the same time I steered the car and thus Almighty Allah saved that guy n me too but later I chased him and beat him up. You know our bald roads which have got very less traction esp the old roads in cities so on that if ABS doesnt kick in car skids like skidding on snow.

Correct me if I am wrong but that is what my comprehension of the subject is.
regards

totally agreed with u . u r sayin the same thing as i m. i know, the term "skid" we refer to as when the tyre is LOCKED and is just moving along the surface of the road, and i know that ABS sensor doesnt let that happen. the point i wanted to emphasize in my post is that ppl think that ABS is a MIRACLE brake. like if a normal car stops in 50 meters at a particular speed, ABS car wud stop in 10....its not the case. i even read somewhere (if i m not wrong, on the launch of ABS in Civics some ten or so years ago) that in actual ABS takes MORE space to stop as compared to conventional stopping distance. once again, i totally agree and know the mechanics of ABS inside out.

abt activation of ABS in daily usage, u again took me wrong bro. activation of ABS depends upon many things. Road compound, wetness or dryness of the road, the amount of dust on the road, tyre compound. wat i said abt toyota brakes was that given the same road conditions at the same speed, if ABS is city is activated at lets assume pressure 100 (assume any unit for the force), gli's ABS wud get activated at pressure 75, means, ABS wud be activated unnecesarily. and YES ABS is supposed to act under severe braking on the cricket pitch-like shiny roads in pakistan. poor brakes kya karein

Bro, can you tell me when the ABS is activated in Honda City a thak thak sound come from front wheels? It looks like the ABS are stopping the wheels to lock. I have this annoying sound coming from my front wheels and I assume that there is problem with front wheels. Please tell if you have the same case?

that thak thak sound is actually the ABS and it works the same way

Thanks bro I was worried but it is OK now.

Its 4 wheel ABS, Front is Disc and the rear is drum brake but the ABS applies on all 4 wheels simultaneously.

ye bro its normal. the thak thak sound is that of holding and releasing the brakes by the abs unit to avoid wheels lock up thats y it is called anti lock braking system or abs.
Keep calm during emergency braking and just stamp the brake pedal firmly until the situation is under control

dms664, Many thanks bro, my worry is over now. Thanks for comments

Sorry for digging an old thread but I've always felt my 2013 honda city braked are not up to the mark. I always feel the tires lock straightaway when brakes are applied on 80-100km speed. Is anyone else having this problem? Should I get it checked from Honda? I'm pretty sure my car's ABS is not working

If the tires lock often on application of brakes then it could be an issue with tires. The rubber is too dry and does not stick well with the road and skids

Thanks. Tires seem fine to me @40k. I'll probably get brake pads checked and replaced tomorrow as I have to go north on Thursday. Lets see what Honda says.

In how many years have u done 40k?

swift has 2 wheels disk abs and at rear electronic brake force distribution from what i know in disk brakes abs works by the pads tapping the disk to not lock up the wheel by varying pressure while in drum breaks rear specially the brake force is adjusted accordingly with some valve precisely to compensate lockup [force as in preassure of hydraulic fluid] .. as someone mentioned it must be a 3 channel abs unit plus you never hear tuk tuk sound from drum breaks when abs is on moreover ebd is working even before abs is active continuously monitoring and distributing front and back breaking pressure

[maple]

electronic brake force is a part of abs .. i think drum brakes are not made that way so they dont operate by the pads tapping the breaking surface repeatedly like disk during abs activation so instead brake preassure is adjusted

[maple]

city has same only civics and toyotas with 4 wheel disk brake must have 4 channel system

[maple]

EBD uses some valve or something to precisely adjust the preassure

[maple]

abs with ebd helps the rear wheels t0 not lockup and adjust brake force acordingly ebd works for rear wheels while abs is there when any wheel lockup occurs and as mostly front wheel lockup occurs
