Pull the ABS fuse, or put a 2nd VDC switch, spliced into the ABS fuse connector (still fused somewhere) in the blank spot on 2003 Titans?
It's burnout time!
People were doing this modification on the WRX, because over any sort of rough surface, the ABS would kick on unpredictably, and you would have no pedal/brake feel. I heard others with the problem, and then experienced it in a parking lot full of potholes. I figured I would disable the system... then forgot about it when I saw the price from some "tuner". I could easily build it, but the car was new to me, I didn't know where wires and fuses were, nor did I have time for that. I should have made time.
My WRX soon went out of control due to the brakes strange behavior in a strange situation. Had it been any other car I owned I would still have it today. There is a nhtsa investigation on the abs system for the WRX, seems like quite a few people have signed up. You mash the brakes, and it feels like the car is not applying them (spongy, not even a chirp + abs noise). Then the back end lifts up and starts swaying. Then you end up across a major highway in front of an oncoming semi truck. Then you hobble to their passing lane, to be hit by a woman not looking at you because her husband is yelling at her to watch out, and she HAS to turn and face him to argue that she know's what she is doing (she wanted to pass the truck that "slowed down for no reason"). I saw her look at me within the last 30 feet... then she tboned me. Next thing I know is my seat is touching shoulders with my passengers seat, and my arm is burning (side airbag), and I have no glass on the drivers side of the car. For fun, my trunk pops open after me and my friend look at each other and go wtf! lol
The titan ABS seeems VERY good comparatively... but it would still be nice to disable it when you wanted.
