Disconnect the sensor which should be somewhere near the wheel.

Just curious, but why do you want to disconnect the ABS? If you de-activate the ABS you will also disconnect the Traction control.

Your not allowed to disable the ABS systems. Its illegal in all 50 states to disable them. Your not allowed to mess with safety equipment in an automobile ABS, Airbags, Seatbelts and so on. Its against federal laws.

Like nheuer says, I wouldn't disable ABS, all kinds of bad stuff can happen if ya do, trust us. If ya having some hassle, like a dash light coming on, erratic braking, etc., describe better, maybe we can help better.

^ ^ Yeh deffinately. The ABS shares a circuit with the trac control, and if you were to find a way to disable it by unplugging the wheel speed sensors, it could cause VCM module to throw all sorts of shit fits, and cause messed up braking due to the brake system not being able to apply the appropiate break pressure to each wheel because the speed is unknown. Like they said, why exactly do you need to disable it? I'm sure it's a problem that can be fixed differently.
