Technican: Hello, The condition you describe sounds like a wheel speed sensor is indicating zero mph while the other wheel speed sensors indicate 5mph. The result is "read" by the computer to be a sliding wheel and anti-lock is activated to control the condition and allow the "sliding/locked wheel" to rotate 20 percent so that you can steer the vehicle. I recommend a road test with a brake specialist using a scanner to monitor wheel speed sensor feedback. This will get you going in the right direction for a repair. A scanner (not a code reader) is the best tool for diagnosis here. The brake and ABS lights coming on with the fuse pulled is normal. Thoughts?,
