why?

why?

There are a few sensors that can go bad. They could also be too dirty, sorry can't remember where the hell they are.

this happened with my truck, the abs kicked on at low speeds but no abs light. it was my wheel speed sensor. i replaced both front hub assembleys and the problem was solved.

I'm seriously beginning to hate the brakes on our trucks....from the CRAPPY ABS to the fact that the pedal is mushy no matter waht you do...hydroboost, upgraded pads, aftermarket kits (Wilwood).

THast why i'm gonna figure out some way to junk all the abs related components and have it NON-ABS...lol i just don't know how to do it yet

hey i've also heard that if you have oversized tires this can happen as well. Furthermore, have you tried unplugging the ABS all together?? its a clip thats on the abs pump that goes to the abs ecu.

Check your vacuum hoses also, mine was acting like crap and i found a rubber ninety boot that tore completely in half. I replaced the rubber boot for 7 bux, now the brakes work like they are supposed to.
