For 94-97 Integras. This is from a 95.

Ok, so if you're like me and have a GS-R, you have the wonderful displeasure of having ABS. And it doesn't work. I've seen multiple questions on how to remove the wires. This removes about 99% of them. I didn't care enough to remove my dash and get the wires that go to the cluster and driver's side front brake.

Anyway, this is not another write up on how to delete the entire ABS. There's already another write up for that. This is ONLY for the wiring since you now have orange plugs cramping your style in your engine bay. I am doing this before removing my entire ABS system, so I don't have to do it later. Now, this is not a thread debating the usefulness of ABS. I don't want to hear the reasons for keeping it--safety, blah blah blah. I, for one, am for deleting it. Why?

1.) It doesn't work anyway.
2.) ~30 pounds of weight savings
3.) Cleaner looking engine bay
4.) It's cheap/free to delete wires

Tools/stuff:
8, 10, 12 mm socket wrench
Wire Cutters/scissors
Electrical Tape
Screw drivers

Warning: Be careful doing this. I stopped a few times along the way to make sure I didn't mess up anything in my electrical system. I'm not responsible for your mistakes. Disconnect the battery first! SAFETY! I did this with my engine in the car, but give yourself lots of time. It isn't easy.

We'll start with the easy stuff:

1.) Remove the ABS computer. It is mounted behind the passenger rear quarter interior panel. There are 4 10 mm bolts and 2 plugs holding it in. Orange plugs= ABS wiring.

2.) Remove the entire harness that plugs into the ABS computer. There's a couple grounds that unbolt behind that rear panel you have now loosened. There are some wires that go to the rear sensors. Unclip them. You may have to take off the metal plate in your trunk. Again, orange clips. Follow the ABS computer wires... You will have to unbolt your passenger seat to remove the 6 wires that go to an empty plug underneath the seat. Those two plastic covers can come out too. The other end of this harness goes to a large orange plug under the dash, next to the ECU. Loosen the ECU and remove the mounting bracket. You can still leave the ECU plugged in. Keep the ECU to the side for now. We still have lots of crap to take out.




3.) If you already haven't, unplug the ABS module from the car. You can remove the small relay box next to the module, if you haven't already. Throw those aside. Congrats, all your abs circuits are deader than a Deadolia. That's pretty dead.

4.) This is where it gets harder. Follow the two orange plugs you just removed. They go in two directions: towards the cabin and towards the front of the car. We'll start with the ones in front of the car. Remove all the little plastic clip things, conduit, and electrical tape going toward the front of the car. Be careful. It wraps around where the ABS module should be/still is. There are two large relays mounted by your coolant tank. That's where most of those wires go! Remove those two relays (orange plugs again!!) and all the wiring going to them.

Here's a pic of those relays and ground:



There is also a ground with 3 black wires coming from it. It's mounted next to a bunch of ground wires. You can remove the smaller 3 ground setup--That's all for the ABS. Test for electrical problems, then retape your harness.



5.) Ok, now you only have ABS wires going one direction (toward the cabin). To make this a bit easier, I chopped off the wires and orange clips going to the ABS module. Now there's about 20 wires coming from your engine wire harness.



6.) Remove the air intake, battery, battery tray and holder. There's 3 12 mm bolts under the tray to do this.

7.) Peel back the tape and all the stuff and fluff from the remaining ABS module wiring. Go from where you cut the wires to the firewall.

8.) Remove the grommet going to the fire wall. I cut the wires from the ABS module plug again to make it easier for me. I also removed the plugs by the glove box to make it easier to move wires.



9.) From the large 20 or so prong orange plug INSIDE the car, gently pull the wires that now lead to nothing through the firewall. GENTLY. There will be about 6 wires left over, extending from the large plug in the cabin by the ECU. Blue/Green, white/green, and some others. I imagine these go to the driver's side brake and the cluster light, that has been plaguing your dash.

10.) Cut the large orange plug out. Cap the 6 remaining wires. We don't want any shorts. There are a couple wires that are tied into the wires by the ecu. Youcan cut them where they're tied in and cover.


11.) Remove the bulb for the ABS in the cluster. It's like 2 screws for the trim and 3 for the cluster if I remember correctly.

12.) Temporarily put your battery back in and test again for electrical problems. If ok, then retape your harness. Bolt your ECU and mounting plate back into place.

13.) Reinstall the air intake, battery mount, and other stuff you took out earlier.

14.) Optional: remove the wheel sensors. You don't need them anymore either. Mine are pretty rusty, so I'm going to keep them for now.

15.) Pretty! Now go get yourself a beer. Or Steak N' Shake. All done.


All of this is now gone:
