Swap in a 4 channel rear in a 3 channel car

I am wanting to swap in a 4 channel rear that I have access too. Is there a way to keep the ABS working correctly? I read that you can extend the wires to one of the wheel sensors. Is that correct? Thanks in advance

Re: Swap in a 4 channel rear in a 3 channel car

As someone suggested in another thread that you posted in, try it. Logically, the pulse count per tire rev difference between the huge 3-channel reluctor gear on the carrier is going to be significantly different than the pulse count from the tiny 4-channel reluctor on the ends of the axles.

I've seen a reluctor and pickup added to the pinion shaft (for other purposes than ABS). Might want to try that appraoch.

On the other hand, this post says it worked for him:

Unfortunately, that member hasn't been active on the site since last October, but you could try an e-mail.
