The brakes pull to the left. There are no warning lights on on the dash. What would cause the antilock brake system to just stop working?There is no fluid leaking anywhere and no air trapped in the system.

I have not changed brake fluid ever. I have only added some as needed. So dirty brake fluid would cause this. I will have to get this changed. Thanks Roy for your answer.

the dirty fluid is the cause of the failure of the parts. it is not the reason for the pulling
