Removing ABS fuse may cause rear brake lockup

[CMF_LWC]

If you remove the ABS fuse on your ABS model you risk a rear lockup under hard braking due to rear end lift.

Non ABS models have a mechanical load sensing valve to prevent lockup when you have no rear passengers.

Mine has this load sensing valve FYI. All cars with the majority of braking power at the front have the ability to lock the rears before the fronts.

Thanks guys, I guess the Haynes manual (English micra) isn't the same for everything on Aussie micras!

It is also referred to as LSPD (Load Sensing Proportional Device) or something like that?!

^^ Correct.

Basically removing any component of the ABS system will cause the wheels to lockup if you push the brake pedal hard enough.

I wish nissan had not set the ABS to operate in a straight line. Would have been much more effective.

i loved the micra ABS.

With my n14 1.6 brakes, slotted rotors..it was REALLY hard to get them to actually come on ABS...I could push the pedal down pretty firmly and pull the car up great without abs coming on.

however the 200sx..thats a totally different story on the ABS front. makes me appreciate my old micra's braking ability.
