ABS Kill Switch mod for 05+ Offroad EASY WAY! (PICS)

No I just cut the wire and extended both ends to a switch on the dash. Bare on mind that this is a 2009 TRD SPORT WITH VSC AND NO ATRAC. Not sure what year your truck is..let me know. I don't like grounding wires for obvious reasons!!! A cut wire is easier to fix than burning or damaging electronics and popping fuses.

 

Thanks for your reply Milowilli!!! I have been asking around in other threads, and even started my own trying to get good feedback.

I think the ground is what the issue was. I have a 2011 Sport w/ VSC, but the wiring should be the same, as is pretty much everything else on the '9-'11 models.

 

*UPDATE*

So I successfully did the ABS kill mod, and the Yellow-Wire mod.

Thanks to Milowilli for pointing me in the right direction. Cut the Light Green wire, and connect it to a SPST On-Off switch. No grounding necessary EASY!!!

I took some pics, and will incorporate a more detailed description in the thread I started while I was researching how to do both mods (ABS Kill / YWM).

 

Are you able to cycle it on the fly??

 

Here's the write-up I did: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/te...-abs-kill-switch-why-why-not.html#post6254094

yup, works like a charm. Thanks for your input!!! I also posted my pics and step-by-step on your thread too (hope you don't mind )

 

Don't Mind at all!!! At least you made it clear as day!!! It's such a simple mod. No experimenting grounding wires and blowing fuses for me!!!...and it works on the fly!!!

 

I just tried this mod. 2011 Off Road.......no luck.......I flip the switch and nothing happens. I assume I have a bad switch or connection. Not sure. No time to test as I am leaving for a trip to camp. Oh well.....have to mess with it later...shitty thing is I will hit snow.

I soldered the wires to the switch and used the same Tap and crimp connectors the OP did. Maybe my switch is bad??

 

Just completed this on 2012 Offroad. Tested it, and it works great! Very nice and easy mod. Thanks Crom!

 

Great mod, I'm going to do this someday.

 

You're welcome.

Benson, I've modified the OP in my thread to link to your writeup for NON-Off Road model trucks, to better help people and cut down on confusion.

Thanks for helping.

Thanks for helping.

 

subbed. might do this. Although my ABS doesnt seem to act up on me.

 

this only work in 4wd? i just did the mod and dont have any abs light coming on the dash when i flip the switch...hmmm

 

well the wiring is very simple (im an electrician =P) im thinking the t-splice thing i used was crap and didnt actually dig into the wire and make a connection. thanks for the info!

 

Crom, you da man. Awesome write up. Works perfect! You should do the Locker anytime mod and do your perfect write up for that.

 

Well I just got finished doing this mod and the ABS, locker, and check engine light came on. My question being does anybody know why the check engine light came on? I will plug in a scanner tomorrow to see what code comes up but i was just curious if anybody else has had this same problem. Oh and I also did the anytime foglight mod today if that helps at all.

 

Nevermind just took it for a ride to test the new ABS system, light cleared and it works flawlessly! highly recommended! Lets hope this wont happen again now.

 

I guess I'm lucky not to have abs on my 2002 TRD 4x4.

 

I want to do this on my 01, can anyone steer me in the right direction?

 

this is a great mod and loos pretty simple if you can just get to the area! Just so there is no confusion.
Rear Diff does not engage but does this mean that I cannot engage it if I want?
and can I still turn trac off or is it already off?
All I can think about is the times that I have just wanted to do some donuts and cant ever be spur of moment because I have to stop and turn all the crap off then when wanting to stop in mid donut the damn abs makes me almost run into crap!!!
And does it work on 13

 

I've been wanting to do this for about 6 months after getting ran off the road in some snow and almost rolling my truck into a ditch. Finally got around to doing the mod today and it works like a charm! '11 TRD-OR

Thanks for the write-up!
