    I've done hundreds of brake jobs. So dont tell me this is warped rotors please lol. I work at a shop and turn rotors all the time. At any speed i feel a very fast pulsation, the faster i'm going the faster it pulses, DOES NOT FEEL LIKE ROTORS! Almost feels like the ABS is kicking VERY hard very many times, i mean its like a millisecond apart. So i know both my front hub bearings are out and the light is on, so in theory ABS shouldn't be doin anything at all. So is this ABS, or do i have some retarded brake problems somewhere that i don't know about?

    it sounds like the abs is activating to me. could be your abs controller...just a guess. You said it had codes, what did they read out as?

    could be any of the four, but if it is more than one, there is a good chance that it is the abs controller, not the sensor itself.

    If the ABS light is on because of your wheel bearings, the ABS is disabled. So it can't be the ABS kicking in.

    Fix the wheel bearings and then try to determine what is wrong.
