93 explorer abs problem

every now and then while applying the brake, the brake will sort of roll against my foot. Then the abs light will come on. What does this mean,

Let me guess, you replaced ball joints recently, right? Or may be you replaced front rotors and installed new one for non-4WABS Ex (pre 93)?

Anyway, first of all I'd checked front sensors' resistance (should be near 0,8-1,0 KOhms if I still remember correct -- hope someone could correct this if I am wrong).

Then I'd see if rack on back-side of rotors is OK and is not dirty.

The most common reason for such behaviour is damaged front antilock sensors/racks. I'd rather do not consider rear antilock sensor being the contributer. Also it cannot be damaged wiring as startup ABS test seems to pass OK.

With best regards,
Yuri.
