You should get an "ABS" warning light up, brakes should work ok but your problem should disappear IF it is the ABS causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolate you AB.It could be a slight flat spot on a tyre that doesnt show up at higher speed. Are your rotors slotted at all?Good luck. Let us know what you find.

The pedal pumps/vibrates at really low speeds just before I come to a stop, and the other day my ABS light came on and traction control turned off automatically. Atleast it saved me from doing it myself Edited 22/06/10 05:17 AM by F16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/06/10 10:34 AM Share Posted 22/06/10 10:34 AM I had the same problem, it was a loose wheel speed sensor, it wasn't reading properly so the ecu thought the wheel was locked and applied the abs...stupid workshop that replaced my diff bush didn't bother doing the sensor back up, then had the cheek to tell me my breaks were fu*ked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem where ABS will kick in for 2 seconds at very low speeds. Was the wheel sensor the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensors have been cleaned a few times and no change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
