ABS Activating at Low Speeds Options

[Rofomet]

It's been a problem that has been progressively getting worse. A year ago, my ABS would randomly go off while braking. Last week, the ABS would kick in randomly more and more often. I checked my fluids and it's topped off at MAX. I checked each sensor to see if there was gunk on it or something. Turns out out the front two sensors were covered with gunk. Cleaned it up and put it back in. Now ABS kicks in under 10mph consistently. So I'm asking, whats the problem? I'm pretty sure I put the sensors back in correctly.

Check the ABS speed rings around the axles, they are the part that look like gear teeth at the end of the axle where it goes into the hub. If you pull the sensor out you may be able to see a little of it through the hole, just have to turn the axle to check the whole ring. Might be easier to just pull the end of the axle out of the hub and look at the ring gear, if there are teeth broken off it could cause the ABS to think it needs to be engaged. Of course this is only if all your sensors are working properly, i.e. no ABS codes in the system.
