Turned out that the problem was a shorting ABS sensor in the right front wheel hub. Designed so that you cannot replace just the sensor. I had to replace the entire wheel hub. Problem is fixable, but you should redo the brakes at the same time.

ABS system started to come on when easily braking. Then, it finally stopped and the ABS light came on. ABS system no longer works.

The ABS light comes on and the abs kick in even when I don't need it making it hard to stop quickly at low speeds.

The ABS system engages at low speed when normal brake pressure is applied. The brakes are then rendered useless.
