Default low trac brake issue i dont know problem

i have searched and read and i dont think any one has had my problem so here we go

2000 ws6 auto non traction control car i rebuilt the rear end its been a problem ever since
case 1
i can get in the car crank the car no lights at all press the brake put into reverse back out of the garage at idle apply the brake to stop and low trac comes on and the brakes acting like i have slammed on them and the abs is trying to not lock up them up.
case 2
i can start to stop below speeds of 25mph and the car will do it again brakes feel the same way but no abs idos light just low trac
case 3
while using curise control at 70+ not pressing anything just minding my own f'in business car kicks on low trac light kills curise control and the car may shut the light off or (this is were i get confused) it will kick on the abs idos light and the e-brake light on and the low trac light goes away and those lights will stay on till i kill the car

anyone please help any ideas anything im lost never had this problem with any car i have ever owned

ok i ahd the same problema nd the fix cant be any easier. its that cursed sensor behind the front rotors. jsut take off the wheel, unplug the snsor clean it off, give yur brakes and such a good wash and see if that doesnt fix it. thats all i did to mine and havent had a problem with it since
