Far as I understand ABS systems is that it deactivates at slow speed/zero speed, otherwise the system would always try and let the wheels turn. Further ABS systems have a self diagnostic function that switches the systems off if any variation is detected, or in other words it works 100% or not at all. The only way I can think of, with my limited knowledge, for an ABS system to produce rock hard brakes is that the system has opened the brakes and is stuck there. I would expect that this would cause alarm bells to go off in the diagnostic part. I guess the way to determine if ABS is the problem is to deactivate it and see if the problem persists but the wiser thing is to have the system tested by a pro.
