ABS / Traction control block out

[GreatDaneHummer]

Anyone know a way to fake out or block out the ABS / Traction control completely? I do not want to run it on my new SAS? Thanks!

Just don't hook it up. If you unplug any part of the ABS/TCS/Stabilitrac, it will defeat the whole mess.
Not sure if this would put the truck into low-output mode or not. And of course the dash will light up like a Katy Perry concert.

For type of build you are considering...I think you should gut the stock wiring entirely, and use a Painless generic wiring kit. Given the crazy swap ideas you're tossing around...I would remove any & all stock computers, and wire the truck like a traditional pre-1980 vehicle. This would allow you to go back with a stand-alone controller for the LS motor.

Basically pretend it's a kit car. You could also get rid of all the nuisance features like pass lock, programmable keys, auto headlights, auto door locks, stabilatrac, ABS, blah blah. Just wire the vehicle to operate without any computers.

Currently for testing I have the two front sensors removed and it does give me an ABS error etc also not allowing me to shift into 4 low. It hasn't gone into any low output mode or anything. I would like to use this unit bearing without having to modify an outside sensor ring. If none of this is possible then I will have to go old school way Dana 60 hub/spindles.

Lack of a factory engine will block it out. I have stabilitrac and traction control error messages active. Brakes function normally but not sure if abs is defeated.

How are you able to shift into 4 low with the ABS and stabilitrac errors?

Might want to see if GM 3500 IFS unit bearings can interchange with those

Yes transfer case shift functions work fine.

Yes, but you did some major wiring work when you did the conversion. Is the xfer case functioning because you redid the wiring?

 

[CaseyS]

No, the transfer case wiring was all retained. That all goes back to the transfer case control module.

The transmission wiring was abandoned as well as about half the engine harness but as long as you retain a VSS to the PCM the transfer case should be happy.
