The problem

Vehicle description: motor home chassis built with bendix air ABS with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (Ecu), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.

The risk
