When i install my 9" in a few weeks i dont have ABS on it and i was wondering if the front ABS will continue to work?

 

Nope


The sensor on my Strange 12-bolt was recently sheared off by the reluctor wheel and since then, the ABS INOP light has been on....


Tried a panic stop in the rain, locked up and went skidding for a good 30 feet

 

Thems the breaks...the ABS system has to know the rear wheel speed relative to the front...otherwise, it doesn't know if one is going faster than the other (and thus slipping).

 

so no one has figured out how to only have front ABS huh? POOP, Well is it going to suck or will it just be alittle harder braking?

 

Front only ABS just wouldn't work...all wheel speeds have to be known for it to work. Otherwise, your fronts would modulate, the rears would lock up, and you'd swap ends in a hurry.

 

ok i understand now. Thanks for your help man, Have you drove with the ABS inop.....how does the car feel in braking and can i get along on with out. I dont drive the car but twice a week MAYBE and i wanted a strong rear end for a budget street/strip car. They dont even make 3channel ABS for them YET so it really didnt matter.

 

I don't think you will have a problem without it. ABS is a fairly recent innovation in the automotive world. Think about all of the Muscle cars that never had ABS.

On a side note, it is kinda nice to have for someone that does a lot of emergency braking, especially on a slick surface.

 

Yeah and i know crap does happen but i dont ever drive the car in the rain or bad weather. If i dont like it, i'll sell it. Thanks for the help guys

 

Could always do the ABS delete with a line lock. Put one in my car, from SJM. It gets rid of that big ugly block in the engine bay and saves about 16 lbs. Since it's just going to be sitting there anyway...

 

Same here. Plus pull the gauge cluster and get rid of the abs light. Also if you got rid of traction control toss all that stuff too.

 

funny. i just wondered if anyone figured it out. mine is still messed up

 

What's still messed up?

 

is there anyway u can pull the ABS fuse? cause i did the same thing kind of and i cant hardly hit the brakes without sliding all over..

 

my abs. rear wheel speed sensors.

 

I hope i dont go sliding everywhere. If anything i could always sell the 9 and get me a S60 or a 12. I wanna be able to play but still be safe.

 

wouldnt it be cheaper to get an abs delete kit?

 

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but it's only one of 3 I've found in a search for a solution...

I got a shop to order me a moser rear with the reluctor rings pressed on from moser directly so they would work with the rear speed sensors (not sure if this shop specified it was an f-body or what) but the ABS has been in INOP mode since they put it in. Brake backing plates are on, rings are on, just an ABS INOP light always on. Perhaps there's a wiring/sensor issue since ABS INOP is on even at idle?
