Anti-lock malfunction

I am having a problem with my ABS. The ABS are tripped every time I stop, even without any tire skidding. when I begin braking, the brakes work fine. Then when I am nearly stopped, the ABS kicks in for a few seconds, then stops.

Occasionally when I start the bronco, the yellow ABS warning light will come on, and the ABS seems to be disabled. That is the only time I can brake normally.

Any Ideas?
Thanks

Anti-lock malfunction

Pull the codes and look thru the "Brakes & Hubs" album in my signature link. I suspect a broken front tone ring. Do you do much mudding?

Anti-lock malfunction

I don't do much mudding.

Another thing that I forgot to mention is that sometimes it doesn't happen. It's a crap shoot every time I start the truck. When it's bad, it's bad every time I stop. When it's good, it's fine and seems to be fully operational until I turn the truck off. Then other times the yellow ABS light comes on and the ABS seems to be disabled.

Which ever the case, the condition stays the same until I shutdown and restart the vehicle.

Thanks
