Default ABS question

I thought it was imagination, but every so often my ABS is either getting triggered or resetting for no reason? It doesn't do it very often so I can't really tell if it's because of anything in particular....maybe when I turn or come our of a turn?

No codes or lights. I'm guessing something is about to cost me some money in the near future. Any idea what's going on with it?

Your to vague in your problem. What do you mean you have an issue but no codes?

Do you hear the abs pulsing the brakes when you turn fast? Its part of the traction system if thats what your referring to

Sorry...I can hear the ABS system activating or resetting. I say resetting because it's almost like the noise you get when 1st start the engine. All abs related lights are off and no codes of any kind.

It's brief and it's not traction control...this is happening for no reason just driving on dry pavement. No slipping or locking of the wheels when it triggers.

Never heard of this happening before, can you post a video with audio as it's hard to imagine what and why.

I doubt I'll catch it on video. It's not random, but very hit or miss and doesn't happen very often. I am positive that it's not because of actual event triggering the system.

Could a wheel sensor be going out (or shorting out) and "telling" it there's a need to activate? I'm assuming there's nothing else that makes that sort of noise, is there? Like I said...thought I was imagining it the first few times I heard it. It's never happened while I'm on the brakes so I don't know if I would be able to feel it in the pedal or not.

I guess I feel a little better than no one is saying this happens prior to the 3 amigos or system failure.
