Which statement is true about the operation of conventional brakes when ABS is malfunctioning?

  1. They do not function at all

  2. They are enhanced by the ABS system

  3. They remain fully operational and effective

  4. They operate with reduced efficiency

The correct answer is: They remain fully operational and effective

The accurate statement regarding the operation of conventional brakes when the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is malfunctioning is that they remain fully operational and effective. This means that even if the ABS system fails, the traditional braking components still function as intended due to their independent operation. Conventional brakes rely on hydraulic systems that allow drivers to stop their vehicles, and they can still provide adequate stopping power. While ABS contributes to improved safety by preventing wheel lockup during hard braking, the failure of ABS does not impede the base functionality of the conventional brakes. Therefore, drivers can still effectively brake their vehicles without the enhancements typically offered by ABS technology, even if the system is compromised.
