A system for improved ABS performance during parallel regenerative braking of a vehicle includes an ABS system adapted to transmit an ABS active signal; a drive shaft position sensor adapted to transmit a drive shaft position sensor signal; and a regenerative braking system adapted to inhibit parallel regenerative braking in a primary mode using the ABS signal and in a default mode using the drive shaft position sensor signal.
