I just noticed the same problem recently. keep us posted, I need to figure it out before it gets worse

So with 0 mph on the speedo, all wheels stationairy, foot on the brake you feel the ABS pump kicking in the pedal?

Aren't the ABS sensors all the same?
Just a difference in the brackets?
IOW, can't you try to move sensors around and ty-rap them to the upper arm (for testing!)?
As long as the wires are long enough, you could swap front to back I guess.

What if you put the car on jackstands, all wheels off the ground.
Start engine, in neutral and have someone else turn a wheel by hand to see if you can recreate the situation.

Got my new sensor in today. Putting it in tonight... damnit... this had better work. If it's the ABS control module I'm going to blow my brains out!

Yes, at 0mph while the car is completely stopped I've had it happen. Definitely the front right wheel doing it... I think the ABS "center magnet thingy" is different on every sensor. Not to mention, as temperamental as these darn things seem to be... I certainly don't want to start moving them around any more than needed.

I really want to pull my hand brake and run out to my passenger side sometimes... Tried to duplicate the other day... does it very rarely when the car is at a full stop. It is certainly changing braking distance for the worse.

Ok, changed sensor out. Took it for a spin... it's still there. Just as bad as ever. I am at a complete loss. I guess I'm going to have to take it into the dealer. I don't know what else I can do. Unfortunately, I don't have any money at the moment... so it's probably going to have to wait for awhile.

I had the same issues, but on a completely different car. The problem turned out to be a crack in the pulse-wheel. Perhaps you can check yours for defects?

Unplug the modulator and it will stop, but you'll have warning lights on

///MIKE

I'll probably do that right after this weekend. I have a big Lincoln Pro / Tour event that I'm doing... and I don't want to have to re-learn how to properly brake / slow down, at this event.

I did disassemble all the brakes, re-lubed all the sliders, and re-assembled everything... no change.

It's just such an annoying problem.

Please keep us posted. I just replaced my RR wheel bearing and now it is doing the same thing to me but every time I come to a stop.

The dealer will probably remove and replace the main abs pump/controller for big bucks. They'll still have the problem so then they'll start to troubleshoot and find the real issue.
