Rust built up (where the front wheel speed sensors insert into the hub) raises the sensor away from the tone ring causing a change in the air gap. This sends a bad signal to the ABS module. The ABS module thinks the wheel is locked up and then activates the ABS. I have seen this in GM trucks and Ford trucks. Remove the wheel speed sensor, clean area of flaking rust then reinstall sensor.

On a ford explorerer brakes kick back when stopping?
Are you referring to the ABS system noise and brake pedal pulsation ? If it is occurring during slow stops on dry pavement, you probably have an ABS sensor failing, but until it turns on the ABS warning light , the scanner cannot show which of the 4 ABS sensors it is (applies to 1995 and newer Explorers with 4 wheel ABS)

Why do my 2001 explorer antilock brakes activate when coming to a slow stop on dry pavement?
My 1995 does that also ! I took it to the dealer and one of the fellows spent almost an hour and a half checking the brake system out and could not find anything wrong. He figured that one of the ABS sensors was going bad but until it turns on the ABS light in the guage cluster there was no way of telling which ABS sensor it was , because no codes showed up when it was scanned. (P.S. - he knows that I will bring it back there when the ABS light finally comes on so he didn't charge me 1 cent for his time) I was impressed.

My 1995 Explorer ABS system will " kick in " sometimes when I make a slow stop on dry pavement. The mechanic spent 1 1/2 hours checking it out and could not find anything wrong . He figured that I had an ABS sensor failing , but until it turns on the ABS light in the dash , there are no trouble codes indicating which sensor it is. I noticed when I checked on-line that there were technical service bulletins ( TSB's ) shown about the problem , but they just mention the problem , I would have to pay to actually read the bulletin
