03 4runner, I use the cigarette lighter plug to charge my phone. Every so often the ABS will engage with out notice. I unplug the charging plug and it stops? Could it be janky charging plugs? and I just need to stop charging my phone? or can I unplug the ABS fuse and continue to drive normally? With knowledge that I won't have ABS.

Went to O'Rileys and had the codes read.

C1210 and C1234
Also there are no dash light on at all.
Is pulling the sensors a difficult task? Can I youtube this?

Unplugging that fuse could have unintended consequences. On most new cars, a few other dash lights will come on also. I'd check the fuse in the plug, and look for a loose/frayed wire or melted fuse under the hood


How many amps does that plug draw, and how many amps can that outlet support?

Check your fuse box. I've seen a water leak onto the fuse box cause havoc like this.

are you certain the plug/unplug is causing the ABS engagement. On my Land cruiser, the ABS engages when the speed sensor is dirty. pull the sensor and clean it unless you are dead certain it is the cig lighter doing it.
