Most often times, it's because a speed sensor (aka ABS sensor) on one of the wheels has gone out. You can get a good scanner to find out through the OBDII port to see which one it is then go from there. Speed sensors are quite cheap, about 30-50 bucks each.

If the speed sensors checked out, then very likely you'll be dealing with the ABS or Traction Control Module, these will be quite costly to repair. Parts cost are in the high hundreds and labor will cost more,too.
