ABS ring broken/cracked - can I disable ABS until it's fixed

Post by impster »

Hi, as per thread title - my front drivers ABS ring is cracked/broken meaning the ABS is kicking almost all the time, making it dangerous to drive.

Is there a way of disabling the ABS until I can get it fixed? Hoping to get it done at local garage next week.

I'm hoping it's a case of removing a fuse, or disconnecting a cable?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes, remove the fuse - though you'll have the ABS light on the dashboard.

I believe you can also just remove the old rings, that'll stop the ABS kicking in. Though again you'll have the light on.

If you unplug the massive plug (the one with the red locking slider) on the ABS pump, this will completely disable the ABS.
