Default 2000 RX300 ABS Problem

Hi Guys! Would anybody know what might be wrong when ABS turns on when hitting brakes at low speed?

Broken reluctor ring or dirty/broken speed sensor. Probably clean the speed sensors first and try to inspect the teeth on the rings.

Rear speed sensors are pulling away from the knuckle due to rust build up. The change in gap from the ring causes false readings and makes the abs kick on.
