Default How to disable ABS light in a 98?

Quick question, in deleting ABS from the car, how would you go about shutting off the light without resorting to the black tape mod? I heard 98 and lower can disable the light easily without tuning.

Let me re-iterate the idea that 98 and below can do something other than put black tape to shut off the light.

Second, my ABS works, but I'm going to swap to a rear without ABS and have a proportioning valve so I need a way to shut off the light.

2nd poster, that's pretty vague of an answer?

1- Rip out bulb
2- On a 98..you can ground...
pin 7 to pin 12 turns the ABS INOP light off.
pin 16 to pin 12 turns the BRAKE light off.

I am pretty sure it will not. The 99 and up have different wiring than the 98's did.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to make sure you did it at the pcm and not the abs connector and if it was the red or blue connector.

The pins are at the ebcm connector, when you flip over the connector after pulling out the blue clip to release it, you will see the numbers marked on the connector itself

The wires are green, yellow/blk, and the main ground wire is a black 12 gauge-ish

Does anyone have a remedy for the tcs lamp?
