So, today we got the first snowfall that actually stayed on the ground for more than a second. Any ways, at every intersection there was alot of packed down snow witch froze over witch turned to some nice slippery ice. Any ways, i remember this from last year, but didnt pay to much attention to it, but pretty much if i hit the brakes more than 1/4 of the way down, my ABS kicks on. Not a big fan and i dont wanna disconnect the ABS, so i was wondering what would be causing the ABS to kick in so early?? could it be pads, rotors, the actuall abs sensors? personaly its just becoming a pain in the ass for me and i dont wanna deal with it all season long.

it wasnt locking though...trust me..i hit the brakes with like no pressure what so ever and BAM it went off. I know what abs is suppost to do, i know what it feels like when it locks and i know that i wasnt locking up any wheels. My old supra had ABS in it and it would kick in all the time too, but that was because i didnt have any breaks in the rear so the front would lock up automaticly. Im just sayin that it shouldnt kick on as soon as i put pressure on the brakes cuz i dont care what you say, a wheel will not lock up when im going 40km/h and lightly touch the brakes. Like light enough that as soon as my tail lights come on, so does the ABS
