Strange Anti-Lock Brake Behavior 850 1995

Our 1995 855T with 135k mi. has been having an issue with it's anti-lock brakes.

On dry clean roads, the anti-lock has been kicking in at the very end of a stop cycle for just a couple seconds. Not every time, but when you are stopping at less than a very gentle rate, it kicks in when the speed gets below 10mph or so. It doesn't do it every time, and only if you are braking a little more aggressively then normal. It only happens at the very end of the stop, and seems to be the front brake circuit, maybe left front.

Any ideas from the consortium would be much appreciated.

When was the last time you flushed the brake fluid? Just curious.

Are the tires worn more on one side of the car than the other? The pulsing can be from the rear brakes also. How are the pad thicknesses? A sticking caliper piston can also contribute.

Besides checking for codes, have you ever clean the sensors at the wheel hubs????

Check underhood for codes.
I think the ABS port is A3.
