ABS / Tracs Issues (96 850 Turbo)

I've been dealing with some intermittent ABS (possibly TRACS) issues for a few months now. I sent my ABS computer to Victor in Cali to be repaired. I've also had all of the ABS sensors and wiring inspected. I replaced the ignition switch. Yet, a problem still persists.

The ABS light is on most of the time, but will turn off randomly (TRACS has never been on). I feel the brake pedal pulse at times near the end of braking. This is low speed, 5-10mph and under dry, flat conditions. I have actually also felt the brake pedal pulse WITHOUT my foot being on the brake (coasting to a stop) which makes me think TRACS.

What else can I try besides the option that the ABS computer was improperly repaired?

Well, it's possible. My 1st rebuild was no good, the same thing happened.
I sent mine to www.modulemaster.com and they sent me another, (they had one in stock) and that cured it!
Sometime the processor is so corrupted that all the re soldering (the usual problem) in the world won't help
I would ask Victor for an exchange one if he has it, if not try to "borrow" one from the dealer

(I can do this, but I realize most of you cannot)
If after another one is installed the light is still there and the pedal continues to pulsate you actually must have a bad wheel sensor, rare but very possible
A good dealer can test each sensor for correct signal
