If you wanted to disable your ABS, How would you do it? I want to know because my has never work. I check fuse on the drivers side fuse panel, And its good. Any ideas were to look next, my is a2003 ls,3400 .

 

hub assemblies on the front, the plug in on each one could be no good, they're fairly common, but you need to replace the whole thing

 

i'm assuming the abs light is on correct?
if you can, get it scanned to see if theres codes for a particular wheel to narrow your search.

i've seen plenty of hub/wss replaced, front and back, if you have any wheel bearing noise i'd get that fixed first anyways, as it might fix both problems, also you can use a multimeter to check for a sensor that is either open or shorted. there is an ohm range the sensor should be in, but i'm not sure what it is off hand.

check as much of the wiring near all the wheels for any visible damage. wiring to the fronts can have issue from flexing, this damage cannot be seen, but you can use a multimeter on the wires while moving them around to see if theres an open.

 

Yeah I hit the brakes of couple of times on the ice or slick roads this past year,andthe brake pedal dosen't do thatvibrate thing that it does. Or most cars do.




Thank you for your help.

 

No, I have not seen a light come on.

 

ever have the car skiding, or sliding? can you lock up your brakes if you try to?

 

I can't really say.. Why? What two ways are you thinking about it could be?

 

if the light isnt on all the time.
if the light comes on momentarily when u start your car then goes out.
if you have never locked up the tires or skidded.

it could be working perfectly.

 

I was about ready to say the samething,
It seems to me that the ABS system is working fine,
I noticed in my 03 Monte ss the only time that I felt the pedal vibrate
was when I was on ice and the wheels stopped turning, other then that
the pedal felt like a normal car would.

I would say take it out on the road and hit the brakes hard when no one else is around
and see if the brakes lock up. If they dont then the system is working like it should

 

yah, thats the only time i've noticed it too is when i tried to stop on an icey street
