For which faulty sensor the car will be sent to the impound

Usually, they are sent to a car pound for non-compliance with parking rules, as well as for driving while intoxicated or when the driver does not have documents. However, the “client” of the special parking lot is also for technical reasons. For example, if one of the sensors goes wrong in a car. Therefore, the AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you what “glitches” can cause you to run into serious trouble and lose your car.

Although from December 30, 2021, the technical inspection of cars that belong to private owners and are not used for commercial transportation was transferred to a voluntary basis, traffic police officers retained the right to inspect cars. That's why the helmsmen need to be attentive to the technical condition of their "swallows", otherwise you can get to the impound, even after you return from the service.

One of the reasons is that the ABS light on the instrument panel suddenly lights up. That is, the brake system is faulty. For any serviceman, this is enough to send the car to a special parking lot.

A lit lamp indicates that both the sensor itself and the fact that the car has other problems have failed. The fact is that the ABS module is connected via the CAN bus to other control systems. Therefore, the lamp can ignite from malfunctions that are not directly related to ABS. But you will not prove this to the inspector on the road.

If the car has a so-called active sensor, then a malfunction may occur due to the large play of the wheel bearing. Another option - when replacing a bearing in a car service, the masters simply put it on the wrong side.

And when using a passive sensor, a comb on the drive can create problems. During the repair, it could be slightly shifted from the seat. The sensor signal is also weakening due to accumulated dirt on the comb. This is where it starts to fail. So clean the comb from dirt, so as not to get into a mess.

Finally, active and passive sensors are afraid of strong vibrations and often fail. However, they are very difficult to dismantle without damage. And the failure of the sensor may be associated with a banal break in the wiring. In this case, the anti-lock braking system will definitely not work, and this is very dangerous on a slippery road.
