Ford Repair: ABS - Ford, cv axle, wheel speed
Question1995 Windstar

ABS actuates at low speed. Prior problem was a wheel speed sensor.
All 4 replaced this time - problem still exists. No ABS or brake warning lights.
Brakes replaced - pads, rotors/drums. All work well. All rings are in good shape.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
AnswerPhil,
I have seen this before. Very carefully check each exciter ring on the front outer CV axle. Right under the speed sensor. If it gets a crack anywhere in that ring the ABS sees it as a wheel locking up and activates the ABS. Be sure to check both front axles and also the rear wheel exciter rings.
