Disable Abs

dimitarm · 07-24-2013, 07:01 AM

Hi, i have located the abs fuse in my 370z and now i want to remove it but i dont know how to do it....it goes together with 2 other fuses in fuse box.... Does anyone have an idea how to remove the abs fuse ?

the picture below is not from my car but i put it because the fuses and the fuse box are pretty much the same

thanks

I'm not sure that pulling the fuse will work (may disable something else), but, to pull the fuse, either use your fingernails, small pliers, or the fuse puller that Nissan placed on the fuse block by the driver's feet.

I did not check out the photo before my first answer. The red circle doesn't show up in the thumbnail. Sorry about that.

You are looking at a combination fuse (two of more fuses in one unit). A quick look at mine ('09 Touring) tells me that you do NOT want to remove the unit as it also powers a couple of other things - radiator fan and ignition switch (see diagram molded into fuse block cover). You may be able to replace the other two fuses with "standard" fuses, but that's just a guess.

Yea, when i removed the whole fuse box the car didnt work properly...so now i am looking a way to remove only the abs fuse if it is possible...

You can either take the cover off of the fuse unit and clip the element or blow the fuse on purpose. Of course, if you ever want to enable again, you'll need to replace the whole unit.

I haven't used them, but Courtesy Nissan seems to be popular on here.

Part number is 24370-C992B for the fuse module. Buy a spare and cut out the fuse wire for the ABS. Just swap fuse modules back and forth to enable and disable ABS.

I can't say the car will drive very well without ABS since the brakes are heavily rear-biased and ABS is used to balance the braking. I suppose it could be useful for drifting where you want the rear to step out under braking.

dimitarm · 07-24-2013, 10:58 AM

yes thats my purpose

but wouldn't disabling the accelerometer or "yaw" sensor accomplish the same thing?

I don't think that disables the ABS completely, only the active diff control and the dynamic brake force distribution mode.
