false ABS activation

about 25% of the time when coming to a very slow stop, the abs system kicks in, no lights for ABS or braking system ever light up. Diagnostic never shows any issues. replaced master cylinder, rotors etc. Any ideas?

I just bought my 04 rx 2 weeks ago and it does the same thing I am wondering if the brake pads are not seated all the way in the caliper and that is causing some of the issue.
