All,
I had two incidents, each occurring 1 week apart where the right front wheel speed sensor / ABS unit must have lost comms to whatever control unit it relays info to. I was at highway speed (60+ mph) and the traction control alarm went off on a slight incline, under normal acceleration with a slight right hand curvature to the road. As soon as the alarm went off, the ABS system kicked in the and the power was cut, while the whole vehicle simultaneously and violently veered to the right side probably about 8ft before I could get it under control, which put me almost into the guard once and into another lane the second time. The traction control alarm frequently goes off, and I'm very worried that this situation will be repeated.
I tried pulling the ABS relay but the car started alarming (I think for the parking brake since without the relay in place it seems to think that the parking brake is engaged). Can anyone advise what to pull to disable ABS and not cause an audible alarm?
I'll be replacing the ABS/wheel speed sensors and yaw sensor as well in the future, but the S8 needs turbos first. So was gonna yank the relays on the ABS for now.
