200tq ABS problem?

[Larry C Leung]

Drop a couple of lines to the fuse that runs the controller. As I said
earlier, I'm under the impression (nope, never drove one in such
conditions) that the newer ABS program maps are much more sophisticated
than the ones in our 10 or so year old cars, faster computers meaning
faster pumps and more different maps to match different scenarios. It may
be that ABS isn't as easily fooled as in our old cars. Good thing we have
the switch, but it wouldn't be hard to switch it off. Heck, when Road and
Track did a test of ABS vs. not (ABS came out on top nearly all of the
time except on loose surfaces), they said they disabled the ABS on the
Mercyless Benz SC500 without killing the car. I'd bet that they just
pulled the fuse.
