It "kicks in everytime".....is your ABS inop light on? Are you running the same size tires on all 4 corners? Are you getting a constant pulsing in the pedal (like a soft ABS function)? Any extra info is helpful.

Yes, the low traction light does show on the dash.. it seams to only do it when comming to a stop from low speeds... but when it is completly dry out... also I am running the same size tires on all 4. let me know what ya think.

My car also does this exact same thing, though after a while mine will go ABS InOp. Then it doesn't do it anymore

Mine started right after I put my moser 9" in, we managed to tag one of the sensors with the welder though, so I hadn't pushed the issue since I'm too lazy to re-splice in some new wire. (Covoluted Tubing + Sparks == Instant Flame)

I'd suspect Xaon just hit the nail on the head, I'm guessing you have a bad sensor or bad wire to a sensor or a bad connection. I'd start there and see what you find. Let usknow if you make progress or have any questions. Good luck.
