Question abs inop and brake light?

i know it's like a 6% difference in tire sizes that will make these lights come on. i'm certain that i've got more than that. only question is can i do anything to make these lights go off. i don't care if abs doesn't work, just tired of seeing the lights.

by the speed sensor that is the bearing hub. If your ever back there if you look right behind the steering knuckle where the bearing hub bolts to you will see the sensor plug. Since you have a tire diameter difference it will tell that one side is movie faster then the other. It can do the same if a tire is has low tire pressure.

You need to pull the ABS - use a delete kit from SJM or make your own.

Just curious, if the delete kit is installed, the light will go away? Im asking because since the ABS doesnt work now.. but brakes work fine... it would be nice to clean up the engine bay a bit..

No
Never seen any programming available for the EBCM.
