What would happen if I disconnected all the wheel sensors? At low speed one of the front wheels locks up.

Hello,

Is your abs light on? What your ABS System does is prevent your brakes from locking up, so I don't believe that is your problem. So, if your disconnect them all it would do is turn your ABS Light on if it isn't and when you hit your brakes hard your wheels would lockup.

Are you sure that only one of the wheels locks up? It could possibly have to do with your AWD System.

No..There is no light. Only when you crank for about 5 seconds (Normal). Only the left front wheel locks. And also at slow speeds you can hear the ABS motor turn on sometimes for 2~3 seconds.
