I have been having this same problem. I feel an abs event any time I make a pass and try to slow down the pedal fight s back. No abs codes, doesn't show an abs event when using scan tool. Sometimes the low trac light comes on when this happens and sometimes it don't come on. Changed abs module still does the same thing. Front tires are .6 of an inch smaller then the rear tires, this shouldn't be a problem . I also noticed it will have an abs event even at 60mph if I hit the brakes hard. The tires are NOT slipping or locking up. I noticed both front speed sensors drop out at about 78mph and both rears drop out at approx. 80mph. But it doesn't seem to matter the if the speed sensors are dropping out or not it does this anytime I hit the brakes kinda hard over 45mph or so. Don't have a clue what is wrong.

Physically measure your tires. The MT radials are sometimes a bit taller than they are rated, especially on a narrow wheel.

It even does it with my other tires that are all stock size. Cant figure out the speed sensors dropping out like they do also. Thnx for the reply though. I'm painted in a corner it seems.
