What does it mean when the anti-lock brake system malfunction when slowing down in speed???
You need to have the ABS system scanned. You probably have a bad wheel speed sensor. most likely located in one of the hub bearings meaning; you may have to replace a hub wheel bearing assy with the faulty sensor. Traction control uses the same speed sensors as ABS. when the warning lights are on the system is not working.

Ive been having the same problem. They told me it was just the front hub sensor.

sounds like you have a wheel speed sensor going out.. need to have it scanned to see which one is dropping out and making abs kick in..

Check your brake sensors for debris inside the brake drum or caliper. This all depends on how your Model counts the turns on each wheel.
There are some Models which have a sensor in the axle and others which rely on the 4 individual wheel sensors.
When brake debris or rust "blinds" the sensors you get the problem you have unless it is a clearance problem with sloop in the differential.
I hope my solution is helpful.
