Do any brake work recently? I agree, pull the codes is the right first step.

I ask about brake work because air in the system can do this... as one example.

Given your description, one code may be ABS motor over run - which means it runs until timeout without reaching pressure; air in the system would be one cause of many (potentially).

Good luck

Well, first, I'd get the codes. Really.

But on that ABS it's fairly easy to bleed. Have you checked the fluid level?

I think this is pretty common with the abs systems. I'm sure your fluid was low and it probably has a mild leak. Not really a big deal considering the price of the part is much greater than the actual, relatively small, problem.
