Antilock brakes kicking on

02 GP GT. 100k miles. 50% of the time driving when coming to a stop at a stop sign, signal, etc. around 1-2mph you can feel the anti lock brakes kick on. Dry surface, no skidding, etc. ABS light came on once and went out, This problem has been going on for 2 months. Haven't gotten around to getting the ABS code scanned. Since it currently isn't on, it may not read any code, but the anti locks still kick on/off. Any help appreciated.

You have a failing wheel speed sensor, or bad wiring to.

Try unplugging all 4 wheel speed sensors, cleaning the connections and plugging them back in. Ohm check the speed sensors while they are unplugged and see if any of them don't match the others.

If you can't figure out which hub/speed sensor is bad, your best bet is probably going to have an auto tech scan it while driving to see which sensor is giving you problems. Without knowing that for sure, you could replace all 4 hubs to fix the problem which couldd get spendy.
