With abs, it should not happen at all! Could be a sensor wire off or broken, a bad sensor, etc. Have you had any work done on the front or rear where something could have disconnected/broken a wire or sensor?

also might be a bad proportioning valve. These are sapossed to control fluid pressure and not let as much pressure go to the rears so they dont lock up under hard braking. They keep more line pressure to the fronts so that rear do not lock, causing loss of control under hard braking.

I think 98 and later got an electronic proportioning valve.
Either way, its possible that its malfunctioning (but less likely).
Most likely its an issue with the sensors, like "A BAD T/A" said.
Unplug, inspect, and replug the ABS sensor at each wheel to
see if there are any issues there.
