yes they will still work, but obviously you wont have ABS and you will also throw an ABS code and the dash light will come on.

Right, they will work fine but will lock up when you completely floor the pedal. and yes a code will be thrown.

Note that if you unplug one sensor, you may have the car prevent lockup on three of the 4 wheels, causing it to slide if you lockup the other. Again, this is only AT THE LIMIT, meaning you are pushing the tires to the limit of grip, as in flooring the brake pedal, or driving on ice.

Just take note.

Some abs systems control your brake bias/distribution.

The lack of abs could make the brakes unpredictable or cause undesirable results. The brake system could also work like a normal non abs system would.
