Default 00 a6 2.7

I have a 2000 A6 2.7. I just changed the rotors and brakes. I had to tear apart the driver side caliper to get the rotor on. It's all back together and it brakes fine but just as it is coming to a complete stop the ABS engages for a second or two right as it is stopping.It is mostly just annoying. Any thoughts or advice will be much appreciated.

After reading a few threads I decided to take the front wheels off and check the abs sensors. I pulled the driver side sensor and cleaned it off. Took it for a spin and nothing changed. When I took off the passenger side wheel I saw that the sensor was not fully seated. I pulled it out. It was quite dirty. I cleaned it off plugged it back in and took it for a spin and problem solved. If any one else is having the same problem check/try that first. It was quick, easy and free.
