Default Odd T/C Problem

Had the car in the shop this week to have the Cats changed out and the Drivers side CV boot replaced. Picket it up looked good and drove away. About three blocks from the shop the T/C light came on and the Passengers side break grabs TIGHT while making a right turn. Powered around the corner (nothing else I could do) and drove another block. Turned again and the same thing happened. Went back to the shop and was told that the "Three Amigos" which I am have read a lot about on here, must be coming. He read the code and sure enough, SVS error. So I thought I would just drive it home and do that myself after he told me the new part was $800.00. I did the Option B on the Three Amigos fix and it is still doing it. The odd thing is it will lock up the right front brake even while moving down the road but only when hitting anything rough. Which is not good for the guy to my right. Seams like it will only do it while accelerating while jarring the truck or while acceleration and going around a corner. ANY IDEAS???

No that is the problem. I have not had them "Tres Amigos". The only item that shows up is the T/C and that only while it locks up. I would not think a new CV boot on the opposite side would cause problems?? NEVER had problem with this prior going into the shop for work. No lights or any problems with the brakes!

i would check the caliper to see if its sticking you should be able to take it off and spin it without it sticking. the rotor could be warped from the caliper sticking. i would also check for play in the hub to make sure thats a non-issue and finally i would ohm the abs sensor to make sure its working properly.
