the other day when it was raining out my brakes decided to s*** the bed. they work fine until i almost come to a complete stop, and then the brake pedal sinks all the way back and clicks, then i hear some sort of compressor it sounds like. i don't know, s*** is starting to piss me off. my brakes work fine when my ABS comes on, and it doesn't do this all the time. someone help please

yes thats abs

but it only clicked once, and the ABS light didn't come on. i thought ABS was supposed to automatically pump your brakes for you, and thats not what this did. if it is ABS then it might be all f***** up, because it only kicks in when im at like 2mph. i mean i can slam on my brakes and it wont hop, actually it slows up pretty nice but when im rolling at like 2mph it clicks in. i dont know, **** ABS. thanks for your help guys.

um i forget what those things are called but u have lil sensors on each hub of ur car that make the abs work the fron ones are reall easy to get to but if the car has alot of millage on it theres alot of debris that gets on the sensor things and it cant tell when to kick in the abs so check that its located at the top of ur hub right behind the rotor all its held by 2 10mm

wheel speed sensors, the abs runs off of them.

i dont think its that. i think he either needs new rotors (shaved down so much the piston is fully expanded during lockup, it causes it to retract in so it doesnt leak fluid or get stuck sideways (seen it happen)) or his pads or too low, or a combo of both of those things. or maybe it was a really wet road with leaves.

take a micrometer and measure the diamater of the rotor, its real easy.the stock specs for your car are .83 in (21 mm) rotor thickness.

My GSR only used to engage ABS in the rain/snow when coming to a stop in the dry no matter how hard I slammed them the ABS would not engage. I think its fine your car lock the breaks in the rain and slid a little therfore engageing you ABS
