Re: ABS code 76 set
It's very important to note that the need for the lateral acceleration sensor is not strictly driven by "track racing".
The ABS senors information is used by the ABS controller to enhance rear brake performance when braking and cornering at the same time.
This would be of critical importance during street driving in wet weather or in dry weather in a emergency evasive situation.
If the lat sensor is not working but ABS is working, you have a potentially dangerous situation regardless of whether or not you "track race".
Also, if the lat sensor is not work but ABS is working you may experience the ABS enabled on the rear brakes when driving in a straight line and there is no impending lock-up, ie: a "false" ABS application.
Bottom line, from a safety standpoint you are better, letting the sensor be out of range so the code sets and ABS is disabled. Just ignore the ABS Service light while you're looking for a used unit.
