Default ABS brakes problem.

Brakes were grabbing could not drive it. Took it to a mechanic in town and he scanned it and said it was the back sensors that were bad. So I replaced the two back sensors including the bearings cuz you have to buy the whole thing to get the $5 part. Put everything back together and it was still grabbing still couldn't drive it. So I thought what the heck I replaced the front two sensors or hubs with sensors. Put it all back together and the brakes are still grabbing at random. So I had another scan done and I will try to load the pictures of what the scan showed maybe someone has some ideas. Can't really afford to go to the dealer at there 70 $80 an hour shop time.

hhr...what model year, engine and trans
you replaced 4 wheel speed sensors?
the diagnostic for a 2010 basically says to replace the yaw sensor, clear the code and retest.


which brakes are dragging? all? when they are dragging...does the brake pedal become very hard with no pedal free play?

ok it is a 2010 LT flex fuel 2.2 L. It seems the right front brake is grabbing and then releasing and the traction control light comes on. the brake pedal pressure doesn't seem to change when that happens. I put all new sensors hubs bearings on all four corners. I have pulled the fuse on the ABS system so I could drive it. Everything works fine when the fuse is removed. Sure appreciate your help thank you
