[QUOTE="reivaxtorres, post: 189346, member: 8890"] no, you would have to de-activate the ABS thru the ECU. dont know how to do it, but i know thats how it will have to be done. the ABS light will turn on for a number of reasons, ranging from a dirty/bad sensor to wrong wheel size. go to whichever sensor you think is wrong and clean it up. if it doesnt get better, then chances are its bad/defective. also staggered wheels (17" up front, 18" in the rear, for example) will cause the ABS to trigger if the tire sizes dont match. hell, even with the same size rims, if the tires are too different (one has a higher sidewall than the other) the ABS will trigger. if it senses the speed differences are within a set range, it will activate the brakes to slow the faster wheels down. if its outside the preset range, it will deactivate itself (so it doesnt cause an accident) and will illuminate the ABS light to tell you something is wrong.
