Default ABS Issue

Hello everyone, I am having some weird problems with my ABS. When I am driving in completely dry conditions and come to a stop from a low speed the ABS kicks in for a longgggg duration of the stop. Any idea what this could be and how/how much it would be to fix it?
Thanks!!

Try inspecting and cleaning the ABS sensors first. It could be the toothed ring on the half shaft too. Hopefully it is just a bad or dirty sensor.

It could be that the ABS is working correctly , and the problem is due to traction (air-pressure, tread condition) and/or issue with the brakes [grabbing-binding].

This is a common problem on the RX and it seems to always be caused by the sensor ring which is part of the axle shaft. It is a $1000.+ repair. Check here and also related links in the post:
