any recent mods to your steering/suspension?
I'd try to reset it by turning the electrical on (no ignition), pump the accelerator 3 times to the floor (within 10 sec), turn off, then turn ignition. Seems to reset "silly" lights (like change oil).......I've disconnected the battery (+) before. On older vehicles that cleared alarms, dunno about new ones, but worth a shot before you spend a day at the shop
merely suggestions

Default diagnosed problem

the dealer said the left front wheel speed sensor went bad and needs to b replaced. the ordered the part and i have to wait. this sensor sends the signal to the one on the steering wheel and than to the computer still under warranty hope this was helpful

I had the same symptoms and it turned out to be the ABS pump open-circuting. Had the pump & control module replaced under warranty. Have you checked if it's thrown any codes?
