ABS Problem - Kicking on when almost stopped
Has anyone else had a problem with their ABS kicking on when they are nearly stopped. I have no ABS light on the dash but when I come up to a stop sign and nearly get completely stopped, my ABS kicks in. This happens on dry pavement, no loose gravel or anything to cause it. Turning the wheel left or right does not affect it either. I would estimate my speed to be 3-5 mph at most. I checked the resistance on my sensors with a multimeter and the results were as follows..
Front Drivers side - .39 Kohms
Front Pass Side - .44 Kohms
Rear Diff ABS Sensor - 1.90 Kohms
Does anyone know if these numbers are within spec?
According to this post they are....

Between terminals
.8 - 1.4 kilo-ohms (4x2) front
.38 - .48 kilo-ohms (4x4) front
.8 - 2.5 kilo-ohms rear

On this website, I found different resistance values for the rear sensor which would put my sensor out of spec....

The years mentioned are 99-2000. But I checked the part numbers for the rear sensor on RockAuto and the part number matches the one listed for a 2001 Ranger. Anyone know which resistance value is correct?

3) The reading should be between 0.8 and 1.4 k Ohms. If not, replace the sensor.

I just checked the Ford Service CD and it lists the following specs....
So my sensors are all within spec. It does say to check resistance between the pins on the other side of the connector to test for a short from there to the control module. I will do that this weekend.
Is the resistance between 0.8 and 1.4 kilo-ohms (front 4x2), 0.8 and 2.5 kilo-ohms (rear) or 0.38 and 0.48 kilo-ohms (front 4x4)?

Mine did it all the time. Dry pavement. Pretty much doubled my stopping distance and would turn the wheel either way, it was a challenge to keep it straight, and not hit anything. It never did it when I got my mechanic to take it out, or my dad, or anybody. But it happened probably every time i drove at some point. I finally had it disconnected, and left it like that.
