Why do I need an ABS actuator in my car?
It’s the hydraulic unit for each brake circuit on your antilock brakes. The pump that maintains the system pressure during ABS braking is also within the unit. I will defer to the expertsfor a more technical explanation. Suffice it to say, you need this in order to for your ABS to work.
How do I disable the ABS system on my car?
If you ever have to disable your ABS system, the relay is the most direct and effective way to handle it. Pop your hood and remove your negative battery cable. Locate your main relay box. Locations may vary from vehicle to vehicle, but they are usually located fairly close to your battery or main fuse panel.
What should I do if my ABS module fails?
A failing module will drain your battery. Remove the ABS fuse to prevent ABS motor burn out. You can still drive your vehicle with the module removed. We recommend covering the exposed surface of the hydraulic control unit with aluminum foil to keep out water and dirt. The braking system is made up of the ABS module and the ABS sensors.
Why does my ABS pump keep running out of battery?
If your ABS brakes have failed, then it will cause the ABS pump to consistently run. This means that the battery in the car will eventually run down or fail. If you install an improved ABS relay, it should solve the problem.

What causes a car to stop when the ABS is on?
This is due to the loss of brake pressure at a wheel. If more than one valve leaks or is not able to seat, it could cause a longer than normal stop if the ABS is activated. Sometimes a stuck or defective solenoid or pump will set a code.
