Default ABS Engages - Rendezvous

I Have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous CXL
When I make a slow left turn and gently apply the brakes the ABS kicks in and out
Anybody have a similar thing happen to them?
Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks
Steve

sounds like it thinks the wheels are going different speeds, have you checked your air pressure?

Tire Pressure OK
Was wondering if this is only happening when making slow turns and applying the brake pressure slightly that maybe the diagnostic system is thinking that because the left front wheel is virtually stopped and the right front whee is turning that there is a problem and applies the ABS
Make any sense ?????
Thanks for your help

Does this happen when turning both ways? Or is it just one way.

My 2004 CXL is doing the exact same thing. I am getting ready to replace the brakes and hubs. I will chime in if it clears up.

did a google search and alot of threads about the wires for the hub sensors being too short and pulling the wire open. some have fixed them by running new longer wires

Thanx. I saw that also. They make harnesses to replace the OEM one'*. The OEM wires are made right. They just made the car too long! LOL
