Default ABS light and 9"...

I'm considering a 9", after seeing all the horror stories from pretty much all the other rear ends. I hate - and I mean HATE - having idiot lights burning on my console. Will my tuner be able to disable the ABS light, or is there another trick to getting the light turned off? (I need 3 channel, so 4 channel isn't an option)

pull the gauge cluster, remove bulb (or cover with electrical tape). you cant turn the abs light off with tuning. that's what im planning

I dont think u can turn it off by using LS1 Edit. Your best bet is to take the bulb out of the cluster as someone said above.

I just looked through my hptuners and I did not see any options anywhere to turn off abs. I doubt it can be done with ls1edit either

I know this post is a few months old... but curious if the newer version of HPTuner's allows you to turn off the ABS light?

I'd read some where before that it didn't actually control the ABS but was just making sure, thanks

Wonder if there's a way to find which wire going to the gauge cluster triggers the ABS light to turn on? If not then there's got to be a way to disable the light other than removing the bulb from the cluster.

I emailed hptuners and they said they would put it on their list "to look at". Someone else might email them to let them know theres a demand for it.
