You might want to pull the codes the next time this happens and see if 
the ABS computer is complaining about a particular wheel speed sensor - 
it's most likely being disturbed by induction in a long sensor wire, and 
you might be able to shield only the affected wire(s) and obtain 
satisfactory results.
