How does the ABS system work on a CRV?
Your CR-V’s ABS system uses a system of sensors to determine wheel speed when braking. If one of the wheels is starting to lock up, it’ll apply the maximum amount of brake to that wheel in order to keep it from sliding. Wheels that are turning will slow a vehicle faster than a locked wheel.
