anybody have the idea about converting ABS to NON ABS system ?

Question

The abs light in my car come up all the time and based on the research online it will cost a lot to fix that. so my question are : Does the conversion take a lot of work to do ? how much does it cost on the shop to do it ?

Answer 1

It can be checked with an ohm meter, check the Resistance of each wheel sensor, if you know how, should read 2.5 ohms or a little less but not much more, you can also check the voltage output as well, normally what happens, is a tooth gets knocked off the ring, or a sticking brake caliper can cause it, but go to alldatadyi.com pay 20 bucks read about it an you could figure it out. it will go into standard brake mode if a sensor is defective. But You can't control the brakes as well as a computer can you don't want to convert it it's unsafe in wet weather, and a wheel sensor will not cause one wheel not to lock up, there are three things that could cause that. 1 if it's a rear wheel a rear brake not being adjusted up the same as the other side and if it's a front wheel that locks up then a sticking caliper could cause the problem, jack the rig up have someone step on the brakes slowly test the resistance one by one whichever does not stop is your problem wheel. Warning.... If it's spongy, springy or go's to the floor STOP DRIVING IT NOW!!!! It may have a bad master cylinder. sometimes if it was low on brake fluid it is possible a perportioning valve could be offset in that case simply bleeding the brakes and hit the brake pedal hard whill NOT Driving and it may reset it. You can disconnect the battery after this and if the light comes back on you know you did not solve it but al least you will have enought information to give a mechanic to fix, it. By the way how much is to expensive? what is your life worth to you or your family,?

Answer 2

If your ABS light is on you already effectively have a non-ABS car. Whenver the light is on, your ABS is not working. That's the purpose of the light.

Because of the potential liability involved you would be very hard pressed to find a ship willing to deliberately disable what is considered a safety feature of the vehicle.

Besides, most ABS repairs are for things like a bad sensor, which are not in fact, all that expensive. Just get the thing properly diagnosed, the decide if its too expensive.

Answer 3

well... the simplest way to eliminate abs (but the light will still be on) is to swap out the master cylinder to one without abs and put in a portioning valve. to remove the abs computer is a pain, and youd have to do the swap yourself. no shop would make the changeover because its an insanely huge liability risk. most of the time the abs light is just a wheel speed sensor- usually around 50 dollars for the part, and depending on the vehicle can be a huge pain in the butt or a 5 minute fix. good luck. p.s. no the master cylinder wont just go to non-abs mode. i learned that one the hard way and was almost killed when i hit the brakes on ice in my old corsica. 3 wheels stopped and 1 didnt... the one with the bad sensor... so i spun around 3 times and almost got taken out by a semi.

Answer 4

You car automatically changes it to non ABS. So there is not need to get it converted, since basically the box that controlled your brake pressure to each wheel is turned off and the fluid just goes to the wheels like a normal system instead of being monitored and adjusted by the ABS computer.

Answer 5

On the other hand, it could just be a kink in the hose, or some other brake problem unrelated to ABS. No way to tell without taking it to a shop and retrieve the error codes. Don't diagnose yourself. Let a professional do it.

Mister E79 has it right just as long as the brakes still work.
