Chevy Pickup K1500 ABS System Makes Brake Pedal Hard
Reader Question I have the same 98 Chev K1500 with ABS which sometimes, only at slow speeds, activates the ABS, actually pushing back on the brake pedal. Its always unnerving and I usually respond by pressing hard on the brake..
Thanking you in advance
Abe,
Hi Abe
This might be something simple as grease or brake fluid getting on the brake shoes. I would take all four wheels off and inspect the brakes for wear and any sign of a fluid leak which might be getting on the brake linings.
Blessings,

RE: The Chevy truck antilock brakes activating at low speeds
there is a recall on this, the wheel speed sensors get rusty and give false info to the abs that causes them to activate
i read your response to a question about this and thought you would want to know.
