96 ABS question

[dondiesel444]

almost everytime I come to a stop, on any type of road, right before the X stops the brake pedal pulsates (the ABS is working), there is no ABS light on in the dash, so I assume there are no ABS trouble codes present, but is it normal for the ABS to do this?? I have driven other ABS cars before but this is the first vehicle I've owned with ABS, but I don't think it should be coming on so much. whatcha guys think??

That is not normal. Sometimes worn shocks or tires can cause this, but even so I would not expect it each time. Maybe there is a ABS sensor going bad.

yeah thats what I think, but wouldn't a bad sensor trigger the ABS light to go off?? It doen't happen EVERY time, but it does happen a lot, its right before I come to a complete stop, probably like 1-2 mph. Everything else seems fine, brake pads, tires are fairly new, any other thoughts??

grease all of the caliper slide pins. they could be "sticking" on occasion and causing the pulsating.
