Lately the ABS brakes has been coming on when braking on dry road. There is enough brake fluid. I do not know what else to do.

Good afternoon.

Does it just happen prior to stopping?

Is the yellow ABS light on?

One of the most common issues is he mounting surface of the sensors. They get dirty and effect the air gap to the tone wheel.

I would remove the sensor and use a wire brush and clean the surface and re install.

To the first response you wrote, there was no light that came on, and yes it is usually prior to braking that the ABS brakes comes on. As for the second response that you wrote, that makes sense thank you.

No, it is not. Just do not let it go for a long time.
