When do ABS kick in when coming to a stop?
When coming to a stop, the ABS will kick in when under 10ish mph. I started to happen after I changed my driver front wheel bearing. It was a cheap Ebay bearing, so, now, about 3-4 months later, I bought a new wheel bearing and installed it today to see if it changed. Nope.
What causes a car to activate its ABS system?
This problem usually starts with the wheel speed sensors. A weak signal from a sensor is interpreted as a locked wheel, which triggers the computer to activate the ABS system and release brake pressure in an attempt to unlock the wheel. The driver might experience a longer than normal stop.
Why is my abs on at 15 mph?
The most common complaint on older vehicles is ABS activation at speeds between 3-15 mph. This problem usually starts with the wheel speed sensors. A weak signal from a sensor is interpreted as a locked wheel, which triggers the computer to activate the ABS system and release brake pressure in an attempt to unlock the wheel.

The ABS pump is not having the typical issue where it runs non-stop, but it kicks in for no reason. Swhitney is right. The problem is called “unintended low speed ABS activation”. There was a recall for trucks in the “rust belt”.

Why do I have an unwanted ABS activation?
If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed greater than 3.7 mph but less than 10 mph, the corrosion may cause an unwanted ABS activation. Use the following procedure to repair corrosion where the front wheel speed sensor mounts on the front wheel bearing assembly:
How does ABS work on a General Motors car?
General Motors is well known for ABS problems. The problem comes from the speed sensors in the wheel bearings. The sensor slips into the wheel bearing and reads a toothed wheel inside. These sensors are very senesitive to the distance between the end of the sensor and the toothed wheel.
