Any EASY way to add ABS to an 07 3D hatch? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Was wondering if I could trade my "pro-lock" brakes to some ABS or something by adding/swapping some easy parts? Just a dream probably.... heh

Oh adding ABS is easy as anything else.

You just remove a TON of components, install the ABS, and put it back together.

Define easy:

just some bolts, wires, tools, brake lines, pump and valve body, and intermediate auto knowledge ? yes
takes all day or several days ? yes
need many new expensive parts and new electrical harnesses and switches ? yes

might not meet the definition of 'easy' depending on your day job

if you were an electrical/mechanical engineer with tools, you could install your own home-grown
sensors to determine 4 wheel speed and integrate that with the transmission speed output and
install your own pump valve, and then spec and build a controller circuit, but by then you could
get a car with ABS built in. again..define easy. this would be 'easy to do' for CTScott but take a
metric f**kton of time of time to execute safely.

-----------
find a wrecked Yaris with ABS and strip it, and swap all working parts... would be the cheapest way to go
