ABS/Traction light issue - HELP!
New Corvette owner here. I have a Base 2002 coupe. Every time I drive the car after about 8 minutes the (seems to be the back passenger)rear tire brakes on its own and depending on speed gets a little squirly. This scared the crap out of me the first couple times. When I turn the car off and back on the dash lights go away.
Facts:
Performed the EBCM solder trick to the 5 points on the board - Issue still occurs
Issue clears on its own when car turns off
Seems like the brake is pressed ONLY on the rear passenger side for a second or two.
Anyone else experience this? I'll be checking the speed sensor harness over the weekend. Wondering if anyone else experienced these symptoms before I start ordering replacement parts.

I have not experienced this symptom, but
Pull codes, there may be a clue there.
Yes, disassemble the wheel speed sensor connections at each wheel, clean and dielectric grease thoroughly before reassembling. Same for every connection in the harness you can access. Whether or not this fixes the problem, it will eliminate other potential problems in the future which might otherwise be related to poor connections.
