    I had pulled the fuse for ABS and that disabled multiple things. Is it possible to disable only ABS and keep things like traction control still operating?

    Traction control is done through the ABS. The ABS module pulses the solenoids for the wheel that is slipping to slow it down and maintain grip.

    Ok thanks. I was having an issue where the ABS would activate at very slow speeds and low pedal pressure. I initially disconnected one of the speed sensors but I decided to pull the ABS fuse. Prior to that, using the enhanced diagnostics on ODB Fusion I could see that all of the speed sensors were reporting a normal speed. I wasn’t sure if the ABS issue was somewhere else, but pulling a speed sensor or the ABS fuse stopped that weird issue.

    Although now the speed sensors don’t report any data, so I was wondering if the AWD would then be on all of the time and make my fuel economy worse.
