How to Disable the Anti-lock Braking System?

Method to disable the anti-lock braking system: The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) cannot be disabled as it is in a default active state. Unless there is a malfunction, the system remains on standby at all times. Whenever there is a tendency for the wheels to lock, the ABS system intervenes to prevent wheel lock-up. The primary function of the ABS system is to prevent the wheels from locking and losing directional control, rather than to shorten the braking distance. In some braking situations where the vehicle cannot come to a complete stop before colliding with an obstacle, the ABS ensures that the driver retains the ability to steer, allowing them to maneuver around the obstacle during braking to avoid an accident.
I've been driving for over 30 years and have experienced ABS activation several times. That's the anti-lock braking system at work. When you feel the pedal vibrating, don't panic. Keep your foot firmly on the brake, and the system will automatically adjust the pressure to prevent wheel lock-up. Remember, this is a protective feature that can't be manually turned off. If the ABS light stays on constantly, that's trouble - it could mean dirty sensors or a blown fuse. ABS activates more easily on slippery roads during rain or snow, so it's advisable to control your speed. During regular maintenance, have the mechanic check the brake fluid and wheel speed sensors to prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs. Safe driving is the top priority - don't take risks by trying to forcibly disable the system.
