steering wheel vibration when I put the car in Drive or Reverse

Hi everyone,

My Steering wheel vibrates a little when I put the car in Drive or Reverse at a stand still with my foot on the brake.

Once i let my foot off the brake it does not vibrate anymore.

Does anyone know what is causing the vibration?

It is on a 2002 GS300

it is an electric motor in our GS that comes on and off to pressurize the brake system. when you turn the key on before you start the car you can clearly hear it and you can feel it in the brake pedal and steering wheel a little.
