Yeah, the ABS "works" as far as I can tell. The wheels don't lock up. It pulses. It's just way too generous towards not locking up the brakes, and doesn't pulse with a high enough frequency, from what I can tell. My vic is lifted for offroading, so it's a real issue stopping on gravel.

I'm thinking pulling a wheel speed sensor would be the easiest, but I haven't looked into it yet.

Might have to pull all 4 or else it'll be 3-wheel braking for the first few miles. I assume the wheels are all the same size? Are the abs wires stained at all with the lift? Might be worth watching them all with a monitor to see if any are acting up. I think Forscan is available directly from their website. It's a pirated copy of Ford's IDS, basically, and I know it was recently pulled from the Google store. It works for ios and windows too and can be connected by usb or bluetooth/wifi obdii dongle.

In the RSX one came lose, and it disabled the entire system, so that's how I assumed it worked in the vic as well, but I guess I'm not sure.

All wires are sustained from when I bought the vehicle, some could've been compromised previously.

I have an OBDII BT scanner, I might check out Forscan, thanks!
