How to Disable the Anti-lock Braking System?

[McDominic]

The anti-lock braking system in the vast majority of civilian vehicles cannot be disabled. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is enabled by default and remains on standby at all times unless a malfunction occurs. Whenever the vehicle shows signs of wheel lock-up, the ABS system intervenes to prevent the wheels from locking. If the wheels were to lock up, the rolling friction between the wheels and the road would turn into sliding friction, making it impossible to steer the vehicle with the steering wheel and greatly increasing the risk of a traffic accident. The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, is an active safety feature in vehicles. In cars equipped with ABS, when a wheel is about to reach the point of lock-up, the brake fluid pressure causes the system to cycle rapidly, acting 60 to 120 times per second. This is equivalent to continuously applying and releasing the brakes, similar to the mechanical 'cadence braking'.
