    my first guess would be an abs sensor going bad.. iirc the tod uses them to figure out when to kick in

    have you had any issues with your abs?.. you could start by looking in the manual to find the locations of the sensors and just giving them a good visual inspection, i know some of them are magnetic and can attract small metal shavings that could affect how well the work


    also have you double checked your tire pressure to see that all 4 tires are identical?

    Try to locate the ABS sensors themselves at each wheel and trace the wiring back as far as you can. Check each connector that you find & clean it. Suprising how often it's the simple things.
