Okay I've been researching this for a while now, and I'm kinda confused, the car is dedicated track car. Butt from what I am understanding, if I just pull out the abs module and pump I will get a completely different brake bias unless I run it through a proportioning valve. I was considering getting a new module but those are expensive and I can't afford that.
But just deleting it will give software issues as well won't it? Since it's all embedded in the dme?
I know you can press the button once to turn off traction control and hold it down to completely disable. But that doesn't work in my car I've tried pulling the switch and it looked fine no burned up solder joints or anything.
If anyone has any experience in this please help. I've been stumped on this for months.
Yeah coding isn't something I can do and broke college kid... actually I'm gonna see if maybe the bulb is just burned out
The car is also over 1000 miles away so that's not beneficial in any kind of way
The speed signal for the Speedometer, and well anything else that wants it, comes from the ABS computer. if you remove it you will need to find a new way to supply speed to your speedometer. And yes your car will trow a TON of codes without the ABS computer.
You could try just removing the electrical box from the ABS pump (leave the box plugged into the car). Will likely get errors but at least you will still get a speed signal.
E36's are so much easier to deal with lol. My father in law is looking into it because the guy I got it from told me it was disabled and I know he had to remove the cluster at one point so my father in law is checking into the bulb, if that's not the problem then I'll get the scan tool. I'm getting ready for an engine swap anyway. Mine probably won't last much longer and then I'm gonna remove literally everything and rewire it all.
what this!? You can't resolve your ABS issue and yet you propose to "remove literally everything and rewire it all" on your next project?
this is where old bimmers go to die...

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to add value to these threads, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person with the same or similar problem stands on your shoulders.
If I could get it fixed quickly I would and not worry about anything until I'm ready to swap it.
