another abs problem !

first post ..like the site!!
2000 ranger 4x4 3.0
ok , when coming to a stop and turning right the abs kicks in. the light does not come on ( checked bulb it works).. does not do it any other time. i did a full brake job a year ago. this just started happening a week ago. today i pulled off rotors and calipers ( even wear) . drums look good and adjusted them a bit. but it still does it. any help would be great!! thanks.

So the ABS light comes on when turning right and pressing the brakes? Sounds like a loose wire on one of the sensors. Have you checked all the connections?

the light does NOT come on, but the abs kicks in when it normally shouldn't.

Okay.

According to the 2000 service manual, unwarranted ABS activity is caused by either: Circuitry or the Anti-lock brake sensor.

To check the anti-lock brake sensor output, spin the suspect wheel at a constant speed, measure the AC voltage between the suspect anti-lock brake sensor terminals. Is the anti-lock brake sensor output between 100 and 3,500 mVolts? If yes, repair the suspect anti-lock brake sensor circuit(s) in question . If no, replace the sensor.

Apparently, the Ford Tech website doesn't want you to see their pictures. I can email you the picture I had there if you want. Just let me know.

Someone else had a problem with ABS activity at low speeds and it was an damaged front wheel senser.
