Anyone have this happen? It's consistent on my luxury German
automobile. If I slow down I can cycle the ABS on/off switch to get it
working again, but I would rather not slow down and have it working.
Is it possibly related to crudded up speed sensor rotors on CVJ? I
reset the speed sensors a couple years ago to try and cure another
problem I had with the system that turned out to be a pump relay in
the modulator. I pretty much cleaned everything up at that time, but
not the sensor rotors. I do get occasional ABS activation when almost
at a stop on dry pavement. Guess I'll have to slow down a touch until
I get this sorted out. I'll put a sticker on the speedo saying
"CAUTION - DO NOT EXCEED 119 km/h" for my wife and son. ;) It's a
shame really, car just starts to boogie beyond that speed.

Thanks for any insight.
