Brakes are super touchy after getting wet

Well of course it's related to low traction conditions which is when ABS is most likely to be activated. The whole point of my reference to those posts is to point out that the ABS system might not be getting deactivated below a certain speed, like several people have insisted is the case here.

If the ABS system is really disabled below 12 or 10mph, then how do you explain all the posts I referenced of people going less than that and having ABS kick in?

Either the ABS system is not really disabled below those speeds, or it is supposed to be and there is a bug/glitch in the ABS system happening in all of those low speed ABS posts. Going downhill or driving on slippery surfaces has nothing to do with the speed that ABS does or does not work.

 

This is what I have experienced. I can wash my truck in the driveway, and roll to the first stop sign at less than 10 mph, the rotors are wet and the cpu dosent read a reduction in speed with the brakes being applied and compensates with full on oh crap we gotta stop mode. It goes away when the rotors and pads dry out.

 

LOL This whole back and forth debate over a very common issue. Wet brakes and rotors don't brake properly folks. It's that simple. Every car I've ever owned has had this problem.

Gently apply the breaks when you first get going. Let the pads squeegee the water off. Your first attempt to stop will have harder braking. Then drive like normal.
