Default Vag tool to see which wheels are ABSing...

I want to do some peak braking runs to see which of my wheels are ABSing. I want to see if there is any Bias problems with my stoptechs that need fixing manually (a rear pad with bigger bite, etc.)

Not sure what to look for yet, but I would think I would want to see the fronts and rears start ABSing at different times. If they ABS at the same time, it could mean that there is a bias problem such that when the rears ABS, they also cause the fronts to ABS EARLIER than they should. That sort of thing.

I saw that I can track wheel speeds with the Vag, but can I also track when the Abs is activated?

Default

If you track wheel speeds, it should be clear which are locking.

Default But, if the ABS releases the front brakes before...

they really need to be released just because the back wheels happen to be locking, how can I tell by the log of just the speed? I need to see the speed & whether or not the ABS has been activated at a certain time.

Unless I am thinking about it wrong.

Default ABS has three channels.

Right front, left front, and rear. If the rear start to skid and are released by ABS, front brakes should not be effected.
