My abs is making the clicking noise that it usualy makes when it is working. But it makes thi noise when I am under 50kph braking easy seems to do it easier when turning too. The abs still works perfect when you mash on the brakes and there is no abs light on in the dash. What could cause the abs to be activated when it's not supposed to be. Help!

Sensor is going bad, OR a wire connection is dirty. Brake cleaner does wonders if it's a dirty connection.
Why would this fault only show up at low speeds though!

I don't know why. I had it happen to me though. It happens.
It probably happens at all speeds, you just can't hear it at highway speed.
No, it happens only at slower speeds. Mine would act up from 30 down to 10 mph mostly. It would always act normal at high speeds (>45) and very slow (<10).
And what did your's end up being

Bad connection to one of the sensors (front left). Cleaned it out and cleaned up the contacts. Works fine now.
good to hear thanks for the help

Weird. I've never seen/heard of that problem.
My winter car is a 3rd gen N-Body (N generations are about the same as J only one gen older). Happens alot on them. The suspesion is very similar.
well I cleaned the connectors on the abs sensors but now the problem starts at 50 kph not 40 like it did before what could be my problem? I there a way to find out what sensor is giving me the problem?

A dealer could tell you which is giving the false reading. How did you clean the contacts? Try rubbing alcohol.
To clean the sensor do you have to remove it? I just pulled the connector out and sprayed it all off with wd40 and put dialetic greast on it.

Dielectric grease doesn't conduct electricity, so you put more "bad gunk" back in there.
well I know some people that work at a saturn dealership o I tolck the car there at lunch and he put it on the tec 2 and there wa no codes and we tolck it for a drive and monitered the wheel ensors and they were all reading right and the same. So is it possible that it could still be a sensor. I am stumped now. If that's not bad enough my dam blower motor resistor went again the other day.
98sunfire4dr
Yeah. That sensor can be a real b*tch to figure out. Mine did the same thing for months. It would never act up while I had my computer plugged into the car; would only do it when I couldn't check which sensor. I know in my cars (95 & 97) it will not store the error code, you have to pull it while the ABS light is on; IIRC new cars (maybe 00+) do store the code.
