Default When I press brakes ABS start working - Lexus RX-300 2003

Hello all.

When I press brakes ABS start working - Lexus RX-300 2003

During dry weather, normal driving, on turns and on straight road when i press brake i feel like ABS start working.

Not all the time but random.

Calipers and front brakes are less them one year old.

Why it happens and what to do to fix it?

thank you for your help

sounds like one or more of your abs sensors are dirty or messed up. Try pulling them out and cleaning first. Wire brush the mounting holes for the sensors too before you put them back. If you determine the sensors to be bad, i found them cheap at napa.
