My battery died this morning with the snow. I bump started it and drove 300 miles without stopping. No ABS. TCS, or SRS

- roflchoppa 3y agoDoes ABS /TCS help in the snow? Or do you have to modulate the throttle by foot anyways?
- Skunkleton 3y agoBetter than nothing. Especially if you panic. It’s even better if they don’t kick in at all.
- calvinmorrison 3y agoIt does help. Tcs will stop your wheel from breaking contact on acceleration and abs does the same in reverse while breaking Trip was OK except for round abouts
- tiahura 3y agoWhat car has ABS that doesn’t function when the battery isn’t charging?
- calvinmorrison 3y agoOne that doesn't have ABS at all, though an alternator or charging issue can effect abs because abs relies on high pressure pumps that are powered electrically
- tiahura 3y agoThere's a "bug" in older Accords that when voltage is low [like starting on a low battery] the camshaft position sensor sends ECU into limp mode that sometimes can only be cleared with dealer scanner (or or the Chinese knock off that you have to buy manufacturer specific profile.) Limp mode is one thing, disabling ABS just because no battery, even if alternator is putting out current, seems like a design flaw.
