ABS sensors are getting old and need to be replaced or cleaned if 
possible.  I get the same thing once in a long while.  Most noticeably when 
I turn sharply into a parking space while braking, the ABS will go off as 
if I'm in a panic stop.  The sensors were cleaned a couple of years ago and 
it did the job.... however I suspect they are now in need of replacement 
after 13 years.

I'll worry about it when they act up more than the once or twice a month 
now... or if I plan on spending time in the snow :)
