Removing the Abs lock system

today i was trying to do donuts with m auto 8 but i notice the abs system locks my breaks so i cant do, but the abs light stayed on and it let me do donuts burnouts but i turn off my car and it was gone and yet again it kept locking.

my question is is there and video or a forum website that can help me in removing this abs lock system

the abs system only works when braking.

if you are braking while doing donuts you are doing it wrong.

now if you are not braking. look in the glove box and read the owners manual lots of helpful info. i would start with the dsc section.

or you could search dsc and see if you have any luck.

it's a joke because you're trying to do donuts in your car. was anyone from fast and the furious in the car with you? did "danger to manifold" pop up on the display?

It matters not, if he knows the secret (and yes, if you are incapable of using the search button, it is an actual, real-life, secret.) He is doomed from the start; one might say, autotragically.

And laythor, donuts are fun (and delishous!). You should try them.

The Anti-lock braking (not breaking) system doesn’t.... wait for it ... lock! It's an Anti-locking system.

It's a New Moon this evening but I'd swear it's like a Full Moon around here today. Geesch!!!!

Hold DSC button for like 5 seconds and the TC light will appear. Now go do donuts and destroy your car. Don't come complain when you're hearing 'strange noises' from your transmission.

Well, although it is the dsc switch that he needs, the DSC system does use the ABS system (in addition to the throttle) the brake individual wheels and bring the car back on line.

When he wrecks the car and injures human life a lawyer will come calling.
Demanding the name of the user on this post.
You will go to jail for adding in a Crime.

To enforce behavior like this is the same thing as posting racing.
