Have the brakes and wheel sensors checked. If no problems are found, have the modulator tested.

Had a customer with a similar problem. It ended up being the "steering angle sensor". It's really best to have a scanner that can view all the data parameters to check with. A technician can monitor the steering angle sensor to see if its changing according to the steering wheel position. In my customers case, there was a small piece of trash blocking the sensor internally. We could have just blown out the trash, but they decided to replace the sensor. I remember it being pretty pricey.
