ABS kicking in under normal conditions.

ABS kicking in under normal conditions.
Hey guys, about 2 weeks ago I had the abs light come up under normal braking conditions. This is my first car so I don't know what ABS is supposed to feel like but, the pedal was pulsating and there was a loud grinding which was unbearable.
Since then, I have replaced the pads/rotors,filled up the brake fluid and I have lowered my car on Illuminas & Eibachs. I also pressure washed the wheels in attempt to clean dirt debris from around the sensors.
Basically the ABS will kick under under pretty normal conditions and the light will come on/stay on. I know how to check the ABS light but how do you "ground the terminal"?
Edit: I did notice the rear passenger tire was a little low on air that night that the problems began. I've filled that up with air and it seems to be holding air fine. Just figured I might throw this in here.

Also I have the codes p0500 which is the VSS(would this cause the ABS to kick in) and also I have p0325 which is the knock sensor. Im replacing that this weekend.

If I recall, it's a terminal on the OBDII connection. Search on here for ABS codes and you'll find the thread the explains how to do it.
EDIT: Found it.
Briefly ground pin #4 on the OBDII port and the ABS light will flash the code(s)
