Anti Lock Brakes Activating On Dry ground

[sothunter]

Lately Ive Noticed When I make a Left Hand Turn and Apply my Brakes Like Pulling into a Parking Space My ABS is Kicking in On dry pavement! This Only happens when Im making a Left turn. Any one have any Clues to what might be causing This to Happen??? Please Help!

my guess is that your left front ABS sensor is going bad. or your right front.

The ABS kicks on when it notices a wheel spinning a lot slower than the others while braking. When you turn left, the left front tire travels a lot less through the turn than the right front does.

The faulty sensor picks up the disparity and thinks that the LF wheel has locked and needs to be cycled. Not easy to say which sensor is bad.

The system is supposed to accommodate for that when vehicle speed is slow and the disparity is really wide, but if the sensor is going bad, it's anyone's guess as to whether the LF sensor is sending too high of a speed to the comp, or if the RF sensor is sending too low of a speed to the comp.
