Is ABS going off when braking? Maybe the sensors have accumulated dirt.

Default Pull the sensor out of the hole and see if the magnetic ring is still on the axle.

I had that happen to mine and the magnetic pick up ring on the axle had disintegrated. The worst part about it is that they don't sell that part seperately. I had to buy a new axle.
