Can you drive safely without ABS?
Yes, you can drive without ABS but be careful. One of the greatest dangers with your wheels locking up, which ABS pretty much solves, is that when the front tires lock up, you lose the ability to steer your vehicle. During emergency stopping, without ABS, your front tires would have the tendency to lock up.
How to replace an automotive ABS brake module?
Release the electrical connectors from the unit by pushing the safety clips using a small screwdriver. One connector will be for the main power and ground for the unit, (large wires) while the opposite connector will be sensor inputs and data bus wiring to the main PCM computer which controls when the warning light comes on.
What can cause a faulty ABS control module?
Other problems with the ABS system include faults in the wiring and fuses. A faulty ABS control module can cause abnormal braking behavior, especially at low speeds. Any defect in the ABS system, including the control module, is indicated by the vehicle’s ABS warning light in the instrument panel.
Where is the ABS controller located on a car?
ABS Brake Control Module Replacement The ABS controller is used to monitor the wheel rotation speed and can go out as electronics sometimes do. This computer module is located on top of the pump motor and is attached by four or five mounting bolts.
How does the anti lock braking system work?
The ABS mechanism mainly includes the ABS sensors, a control module and hydraulic valves, which work hand-in-hand to prevent the wheels from locking up. Hence, the name of the system: anti-lock braking. In modern vehicles, all the four wheels have ABS sensors or wheel speed sensors in them.

Do you have to remove brake lines to replace ABS module?
There are high pressures in the brake lines that should be respected if you find you have to remove them. Note: Not all ABS modules require the brake lines to be removed. This depends on the manufacturer of the car you are working on. Other than the removal of the brake lines, the procedures for replacing an ABS module are virtually the same.
