It's your tire pressure!............J/k Could be a speed sensor, you need to check for codes

Not the best advice in my opinion. What if that "weird action" is no ABS or VSC in a emergency situation where it is needed?

Sincity702 - Do some searching AND get the code checked. Your car will store the ABS code even if the warning indicator is not on. You will need to take is to a shop where they have a higher end scan tool. Basic OBDII scanners will not access the ABS.
