Faulty ABS. Another method to see if ABS is working or not is to test it. Find a safe road, drive up to 40-50kmh then slam the brake hard. If the pedal and brake vibrate then ABS is working. If the tyre skid that means you are bringing back the car to SC.

My friend's Saga FL had the same problem before.

Did you check the brake oil level? Check to see if the connector at the master cylinder is properly connected. Loosen connectors is common in Protons.

If all is ok, just bring it back to Proton for warranty. If no warranty go to a mech for diagnosis. If not mistaken, ABS will only trigger if you're at 90km/h and above when you jam brake.

do u wash your engine regularly?

Danz,
You have mentioned in another thread that washing engine bay may cause ABS problem. How is that?

 

[DanzEterna]

is the abs module is not covered properly it may cause the abs to malfunction, very common in proton cars.
especially engine washed by roadside car wash, the best is to cover the abs module with aluminum foil properly.

Abs will kick in at low speed,around 20+- kmh,less than that no abs

Thanks all the advice given.
1. Will check on the brake fluid level and also the connector
2. Try to test the e-brake after work
3. If anything wrong, then is time to 'burn money'...

no la...kick in when there is uneven rotation if not mistaken. 50kmh can skid already if the floor is wet

Before you do, check for loose connections. Sometimes a simple solution will save a lot of time with SC
