ABS Knocking
My ABS has been going off everytime the car is going less than 10 mph. Brake pedal knocking occurs and I can feel it in my foot as I slowly come to a stop. I've read in a recent post that spraying brake cleaner on and around the ABS sensor will possibly solve this problem. Can anyone provide an image or a detailed description on where ABS sensor is exacly. I've taken off one of the front wheels and there are 3 different wires leading to objects on the brake pads and brake disc that is possibly the sensor itself. Thank You

Brake cleaner will probably not work......
The sensor is probably just needs to be cleaned. It collects metal objects on it causing this problem. If you are facing the wheel it should be on the right side of the hub on the drivers side and opposite on the pass side. It should pull out with a little encouragement.

It has to be adjusted correctly as well. I've turned the ABS
off because a shop replaced the sensor (they broke it) but couldn't figure out how to adjust it. I'll make a quick trip to the dealer one of these days.
