Another thing that can cause the same issue is sterering wheel alignment. If the wheel alignment is not correct, you will have to rotate the steering wheel to the LEFT or RIGHT off center when the car is driving straight. The EBTCM thinks your trying to go left or right and makes small brake corrections to accomplish what it THINKS you want the car to do.
Is your steering wheel dead nuts straight "ZERO" when the car is going straight down a flat level straight road??? If its off to the left or right,, it could cause an issue.

Yes,,,,, The EBTCM does a CENTERING ROUTINE upon key on. When you see the warming up message in the DIC the EBTCM is taking a little longer than normal to complete the centering routine

I'm having the same issue with the "Traction System Active" message described by ASchaffer. I'm the original owner of a 2006 base coupe with stock size tires and no telescoping steering column. It just started happening very recently. Don't know why it wasn't doing that from the start, that's very strange.
