Yeah, but only after the "problem" exhibits itself, which can be
dangerous.

Example... say there is a faulty signal from a front wheel.  If the ABS
picks this up while going down the road, it shuts off (my car does this
occasionally).  That is ok.

Say that faulty signal occurs the first time when actually braking...
the ABS kicks in and reduces braking ability by cutting pressure to some
of the brakes.  That can be scary.

If mine did what it did much more often I would disconnect it until I
figured out how to fix it.
