ABS activates at slow speed

[alain173]

I've noticed for a while that when I'm coming to a stop, and my steering wheel is cocked a little to the left, my abs activates momentarily. Today I decided to throw on new front brake pads (100 series) and while I was down there, unbolted the abs sensors and cleaned them up. Now it seems like the abs activates at almost every stop, still biased towards the steering wheel slightly left. If I stop straight ahead or on a right turn, there is no activation. Any suggestions? Thanks

You might have gotten a flake of metal thread on the sensor or something... I'd pull them again and re-clean.

X2 friend had the same thing happen. Pull the rear sensors, clean off the metal and the problem is solved.

Ok, thanks, I'll clean them again.
