Hi all, long time Explorer owner (I'm on my fifth one), first time to this forum.
I'm having an issue with the ABS on my 2006 2WD V8 Explorer. When I first start it up, the first time I apply the brakes, the ABS kicks in and "pumps" the brakes for about 5 seconds. Immediately after that, the ABS and anti-slip warning lights show up in the instrument panel. This happens almost every time I start it. I've only had to brake hard a couple of times since this started, but on both occasions I noticed that the ABS did not kick in when I thought it might have.
In all of my Explorers, I've never had a problem with the ABS, and this one is strange in that it starts off engaging the ABS unnecessarily and then appears to disengage it entirely. Any tips on where I can start troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Tim
