    Sensors do that,,, one or more of them are defect.
    Mine do big  frecency vibations when i use brake swith ABS on. The abs
  computer see the wheels are not turning at the same speed so it remove
brake
  on the wheel does stop turning and so valve vibrating on abs unit.

    The sensor is defect or not in good position,,, to far or to close....
to
  close touch the CV joint like mine,,, broken then ;-(, to far there is not
  signal.

    the only way i ll use to check them is use a oscilloscope and check the
  pulses signal in the sensor connector.
