Can I drive without Noisy, malfunctioning ABS?

Not the hose. Haha
Can I unplug the ABS and drive?
I gotta deal with it of course, but it’s Korean New Years day. So All the service shops closed for days.

So......... can I ?

You can but the pedal will be hard and the car will not be driveable. On an LS460 the abs motor completely fried and I had to limp it home, so disconnecting the abs pump most likely will do the same. If felt like the brake booster was not helping, and gave a really stiff pedal

It first starts with the noise. Then you will get warning lights on your dash ( ABS malfunction, check brakes )..
Then, the actuator will leak oil, and your brakes will fail and an audible non stop beep will sound.
