Why does abs shut down engine?

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) does not directly shut down the engine; instead, it modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. However, if the ABS system detects a malfunction, it may trigger warning lights on the dashboard and can lead to reduced engine power or performance to ensure safety. In some cases, related issues with traction control or electronic stability control could also impact engine function. Ultimately, ABS aims to enhance vehicle safety rather than directly controlling engine operation.
