Why Delete ABS Sensors on Your IS300?

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is designed to prevent wheel lockup during braking. However, on a track or drift car, ABS can interfere with performance driving. Installing ABS sensor deletes allows:

• Better control during slides or aggressive braking

• Simplified wheel hub wiring

• Elimination of ABS errors or faults after modifications

⚠️ Important: ABS deletes are recommended for off-road or track use. Using this on public roads can reduce braking safety. Always drive responsibly.

Tools and Parts You’ll Need

• IS300-specific ABS sensor delete kit

• Jack and jack stands or vehicle lift

• Lug wrench

• Socket set (10mm–14mm)

• Wire cutters and crimpers

• Electrical tape or heat shrink tubing

• Torque wrench

• Safety gloves and goggles

Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle

Park your IS300 on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and wear safety gear. Lift the car with a jack and secure it on jack stands. Never rely solely on the jack for support.

Step 2: Remove the Wheels

Use a lug wrench to remove all four wheels. This provides access to the wheel hubs where the ABS sensors are mounted.

Step 3: Locate and Disconnect ABS Sensors

The ABS sensors are mounted near the wheel hubs. Trace the wiring harness from the sensor to the connector and carefully unplug it. Avoid pulling on the wires directly to prevent damage.

Step 4: Install the ABS Sensor Delete

Follow the instructions provided with your ABS sensor delete kit:

1. Plug the delete connector into the stock ABS harness.

2. Secure connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.

3. Some kits include a resistor to mimic the sensor signal—install this if included.

4. Ensure wires are safely tucked away from suspension or wheel components.

Step 5: Reinstall Wheels and Lower the Car

Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications. Lower your IS300 carefully from the jack stands.

Step 6: Test and Verify

Start your vehicle and check for ABS warning lights. Some cars may require a scan tool to clear codes. Take a cautious test drive to confirm everything is functioning as expected.

Tips for a Successful ABS Sensor Delete

• Keep original ABS sensors in case you want to revert to stock

• Double-check all wiring to prevent shorts or interference

• Use ABS deletes primarily for track or drift purposes

• Drive carefully during your first test after installation

Conclusion

Installing ABS sensor deletes on a Lexus IS300 is a straightforward modification that can improve performance for track or drift enthusiasts.
