    As opposed to fixing the problem? Interesting question, I've never tried it. I believe all the wheel speed sensor and ABS are U codes and not available in the PCM which houses P codes. Might be wrong though.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I think you're right. I haven't been able to find any code that would allow me to turn it off. Wheel speed sensor went out and I am likely just going to leave it.

    It's a body control function I believe, so it doesn't actually run through the PCM.

    Not good to shotgun parts at a problem, you need to get your ABS sys scanned and then maybe you'll know if its a bad sensor/hub or a break in wiring, etc. unless you just want to throw $400 at 4 new hubs and maybe still have an ABS light!?!? Lol

    the free check is to jack each wheel up lugs still tight, then push and pull the top of the tire to feel for movement, you can watch the rote, if it moves in between the caliper you found a bad hub and likely the cause of the abs light.
