2001 Silverado Anti-Lock Brakes

External Since: Jan 08, 2005 Posts: 1

I recently had the brake pads replaced on my 2001 Silverado. The
brakes work fine except for the ABS feature. The ABS kicks in at low
speeds on dry non-slippery surfaces, making it difficult to stop at
low speeds. They work fine above 2-3 mph. What could cause this. I
believe the ABS sensors are fixed in the hubs, and that I have to
replace the hubs to replace the sensors.

True, the sensors are in the hubs. Most likely you have a bad sensor. It
will have to be put on a Scan tool to see which senor is bad.
