Default help.. weird ABS behavior

ABS activates everytime I step on the brake. It feels weird. What could be the cause of this ABS malfunction? Thanks

Sounds like a Wheel speed sensor... If one of the sensors gets the axle grease on it while doing a sensor, then it will do this. If you scan the ABS module you should be able to see what sensor is throwing a code. Remove the sensor from the hub and inspect it. Clean it, see what happens.

Oh how I hate the 'popping'...clean the wheel sensors and it should go away.
