Hello,
It sounds like you have a wheel bearing hub going out which allows the ABS wheel speed sensor to be off a little which makes the car think it is skidding and engages the 4 wheel drive to regain control. Do you hear any noises that are unusual in the front? We should run the codes as well. here is a video to show you how for the ABS system:
