I can feel the stutter of my ABS brakes at a low braking speed. This is an intermittent problem. I also hear the hum or whine of the ABS system, or what I think is the ABS system, when I'm not braking - but usually when going slowly.

Could the sensor be going bad? Any suggestions of things to look for to check out this problem?

Thanks soooo much for any help!

This happens when a wheel speed sensor is going out, if you follow this guide it can help you find out which one is bad so you can replace it.
