brake problems

I have a 2006 1500 express van. New brakes about 8 mos. ago. At the end of each stop it feels like the brakes lose grip. It resembles a stop that the last few feet were on ice and it slide. Pedal stays up and is not spongy. When I replaced the brakes I got the ceramic pads and new rotors. Any ideas??

ABS kicking in at low speeds.
May be bad speed sensor but you need to get abs brake codes to pinpoint the problem.

Always CHECK FOR abs CODES BEFORE TURNING OFF IGN.

Post back code no.
