What does slip mean on the dashboard?
If the system indicates your tires may be slipping, the slip indicator flashes to indicate that Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and/or Traction Control (TRAC) are operating in order to regain traction. If the light stays on, it could indicate a malfunction in the TRAC/VSC system itself.
Can I drive with traction control off?
It is only safe to drive with the TCS light on if it appears when you are losing traction: it means the system is engaging.

Can you drive without anti lock brakes?

Can I unplug my abs sensor?
Removing a wheel speed sensor will disable ABS—and sometimes, stability control. If your car has a yaw sensor, you can unplug that for results. You can also try simply unplugging the ABS module, though that could adversely affect your car’s braking performance.
Why does abs make that noise?
Because most ABS systems judge multiple times per second whether the wheel is on the point of locking or not, and adjust the braking effort accordingly. It is this on/off that makes the rattle.
Does abs work at low speed?
Generally speaking, ABS doesn’t “kick-in” at speeds below 12-15 mph (20-25 km/h) because the controller (Electronic Control Module) realizes that, when making a turn, the wheels on an axle will, by default, be turning at different speeds.
