If the ABS is disabled for any reason you just get no ABS function and wheels will lock. If the light is on then there is no ABS function. I had a rear wheel sensor fail and I deliberately went and tried the brakes hard while the warning light was on to see what happens, it locked up big time.

that depends on what kind of braking you want, as above you will lock the brakes without abs, good for snow driving otherwise i would prefer the abs to be present
