Can ABS be disabled by tuning?
I know that there are kits offered by SJM manufacturing to file 13 the ABS module under the hood, but can the pcm be tuned to disable the in dash ABS light?

thanx

Thumbs up Re: Can ABS be disabled by tuning?
The best way is to pull it out all together. It took me about 3hours (Never used a flare device) and 15 bucks in parts. There is so much more room now, and braking is way better.

Yes, but I did not have to mess with it at all. It was perfect from the factory. Jegs sells them for 35 buck forgot to add that in on ther price.
