ABS comes on at low speeds?

ok, randomly today my ABS light turned on ... I drove it to the dealership to have my friend check it out ... he used the honda scanner and it said that something was wrong with the front right wheel abs sensor.

He checked it out and said that it was a bit loose ... he tightened it and cleared the light ...

went for a test drive ... I mashed on the brakes and ABS did not turn on ... instead, it turns on at very, very low speeds ... under 10 mph. I don't get it ?? ...

now every time I stop, I can feel it in the brake pedal ... ONLY comes on around and under 10 mph ... very, very annoying!

anyone have/had this problem?

The wheel sensors must be adjusted to within specific gap tolerances. Check this carefully. Front should be 0.4-1.0mm rear should be 0.2-1.0mm. Also look for dirt/contamination around each wheel pulser. If it is still turning on at low speeds, get this fixed as this is going to wear out your very expensive abs pump in no time.
