Default Disabling the EBCM

Has anyone just pulled the fuses to the EBCM to disable it? Helping a guy here who is getting unwanted braking action at high speeds. I know it will light up some bulbs in the IPC and give a message or two in the DIC display. I can't see any reason it should affect normal braking or any other system features. Wanted to see if anyone had done this or had any concerns.

And YES we both know it will disable ABS, TC, and AH. He is an experienced racer and knows how to drive.

If you want to weigh in on his actual issue please do it at the link below, not here. Thanks, Mr. Sam

Disconnect the wheel sensors or the Steering wheel position sensor.

Why won't it? No inputs from those sensors and the EBCM should not work. It's also well known, if you have the front mounted EBCM, you can REMOVE IT and still drive normally. SO, there are 3 ways you can do it.

when my EBCM started failing, i pulled the fuses to disable it until i repaired it. and yea it clips the aforementioned functions, dash error lights, etc. i just didnt want it constantly sending voltage to a faulty part, so i ganked the fuse.
