The sensors detect wheel speed, and will send a message to the ABS module to rapidly pump the brakes when it is detected that the vehicle is skidding or has lost traction. When the ABS system is not functioning then loss of traction, skidding, and hydroplaning are far more likely to occur under heavy braking conditions.
What’s the difference between ABS and old fashioned brakes?
ABS only differs from “old fashioned” brakes in that there’s a solenoid-operated valve in the line between the master cylinder and the caliper. If the system senses that one wheel isn’t turning, it assumes it’s slipping and sends a squarewave to the solenoid causing the pressure in the line to pulsate.

How do you change anti lock brakes to non ABS?
Raise the hood of the car and disconnect the brake lines at the anti-lock brake control unit by using a flair-nut wrench. Note the routing of the lines from the master cylinder. Each of the lines will be rerouted to the appropriate wheel. Unbolt the control unit from the mounting bracket with a socket wrench, and set it aside for proper disposal.
