Default ABS Problems possibly?

Hey everyone! I drive a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T and I'm having some problems with my ABS from what it feels like. They're minor problems, I can still drive and everything.. it just makes a vibrating sound and it feels like it pushes my brake pedal up as if you were trying to stop on ice.

This only happens however when I'm slowing in for a stop, if I brake going any faster than 25 mph it won't occur until I'm crawling towards the stop.

Anybody have any suggestions??

Thanks!


Edit: Another thing that happens that is unusual is when I hit around 55 mph, my tire slip icon and ABS icon both comes on in my dash and stays lit until I turn the car off again.

Second Edit: A mechanic tipped me off to it being a problem that my front rotors were warped, I just got finished changing them and that WAS NOT the problem.

Usually, I don't notice warped rotors unless I brake from highway speed. The slower you're going the harder it is to notice the warped rotors. At highway speed warped rotors can almost shake your steering wheel off.

I warpped rotor will never cause a fault light of any kind and will only cause a vibration when braking at highway speeds. Have you had a brake flush recently? Also the B5's had some wheels speed sensor issue that cause the ABs concern you are describing.

Yeah after recent check-ups with one of the mechanics around the area, it is in fact a speed sensor. Apparently it is very common around Ohio in these types of cars, appreciate the help guys
