ABS Problem

My 92 SE is having a really strange ABS malfunction. Whenever I come to a stop, right at about 2-3 mph, the brakes shudder and feel like they lose pressure and are grinding. There is also a buzzing noise from the ABS motor under the hood for a couple of seconds. But the ABS light never comes on. Anyone have any ideas about what might be going on? Is there an easy way to disable the ABS system until I can get it fixed?

easy way to disable it is to pull the fuses.



this is to be done at your own risk, I accept no responsibility for doing previously stated actions

Mine does this also, no matter how lightly I hit the brakes. I'm not sure whats going on but I seem to get the ABS light also after taking a quick corner. I'm sure one of my sensor is bad and its making my ABS kick in at times at 2-3mph even in dry weather.

Run the abs dignostic. The abs ecu in in the trunk. Up near the blose speaker. That light might be flashing when you run the diagnotics. Instructions along with the codes are in the stickies. More than likely, one of the sensors are dirty/bad

Ok, thanks for the responses. I'll run the diagnostic as soon as I get the chance, but until I can take it into a shop, I'd like to just disable it...uh, do you have any idea which fuse(s) need to be pulled?
