What happens when anti lock brakes go off?

Malfunction of the anti-lock brake system will cause the anti-lock brake control module to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal power-assisted braking remains. Loss of hydraulic fluid in the brake master cylinder will disable the anti-lock system. [li [The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system is self-monitoring.
