When mine started exhibiting the same symptoms (at near-zero speeds, and sometimes when pulling into a parking spot!), I simply pulled the ABS fuse to disable the system. The fix ended up being the replacement of the front hubs (which was needed due to bearing(s) noise).
I heard of some people having that problem, but my truck now stops normally, so I'm assuming I have the issue fixed. I had no low speed issues, just with brake applied at various speeds.I hope so, I don't want to pay for a hub haha.
as to the fuse, my understanding of the owners manual is that my signal lights are on the same fuse as the ABS, so that's why I haven't done that. My great uncle next door had a couple sunfires and pulled the fuse simply cause he doesn't care for ABS. He was less than impressed to find his current Saturn vue doesn't appear to have any easy way to disable it.
Today I attacked the roof leak. I had tried to adjust the sunroof window but could not get it to stop leaking. I resorted to unplugging the motor and taping it shut with waterproofing tape. I will address this issue at a later date when I repair the broken sunroof tracks.
Next I removed the door sills and cleared the water out of the passenger side sill, the drivers side was dry, and removed the floor mats. They are original KING RANCH floor mats so they are rubber backed and they were very soiled from being wet. I used carpet cleaning solution, sprayed on, then sprayed with a pressure washer to get the KRUD loose. There was dirt, oil, rust and on a couple there was mold (green algae and black mold).... I got most of it off and they look better. Another cleaning to come later. I will vacuum the rest of the truck later, once I empty all the pockets and nooks & crannies.
I had more time to look at the body panels today and it looks like I need to replace the passenger side rocker panel, repair the rust under both front door panels, pop out two dents in the rear pillars and repair a hole in the right rear panel. The rear bumper also needs replacing and I will look around for one local. I am sure I will find other stuff to do on it but these are the things that need attention.
I ordered an asp underdrive crank pulley , K&n oil filter , hella headlight bulbs , and a stant 180’ thermostat from summit racing.after work I’m finishing polishing my iac and passenger side valve cover ( valve covers were leaking a bit so I figured make the best of a gasket change and improve the peeling paint look )
