Scort_CVH Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I take it, it is just as the light is illuminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask the tester at work today if i remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewLX Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I wouldn't have thought you could just disconnect the ABS since it is and integral part of the braking system. Removing the fuse (fuse 21) for it would disable the whole system maybe this is what he means? You could try the scrap yard for a new sensor shouldn't be more than a tenner..

stoney Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Just disconnect the ABS and it'll pass the MOT.. Think you will find if abs is fitted to a vehicle then just disconecting it will not pass!! its fitted as standard the only way to do that is to remove abs system entirley ie valve block sensors and re route the pipes to me it easier to replace the sensor mate!
