2002 Ford Ranger 2WD, abs brake problems?

I have a 2002 Ranger, 65,000 miles, when applying the brakes the anti-lock brake system kicks in ever time I stop. Vehicle stops but the pulsating continues until removing foot from pedal, as if on ice, but I am on dry pavement. The ABS light does not come on.|||If the magnetic sensor(s) at wheels have collected too much metal shavings (from brake linings/other) it (they) may not sense the rotation of the rotor and it will react as if it is not moving (or locked up). This could cause the ABS to engage at normal braking pressure.





It could be other problems in the system, but no dash light? I'd check the sensors for contamination first.|||Simple answer


You AB System has failed.





It can be for a wide range of reasons, from it not sensing the cars motion effectively, to the computer being locked into always thinking you are breaking on ice.


If the breaks are pulsating even when you are at a compete stand still, I would suggest the motion sensing is the problem. But as I haven't worked on your specific ABS system I would suggest checking it checked by a good mechanic you trust.|||hey man, iv got a 2002 buck rendezvous and it had the same problem. We fixed it every year because the abs sensors on the hubs kept wearing out and failing. If you find the hubs that have the failing sensors the you can get them fixed|||Not sure what your question is, even if you have one. I would use common sense and take it to a shop and pay to have it checked out.|||sounds more like a warped rotor if you feel it in the steering wheel.
