Alright this is starting to get to me a bit...ETS off and ABS light comes on, mostly when I turn right. Wether it's from a complete stop and a full 90degree turn or if im turning right while reversing, these lights come on, not everytime tho. Also when I first get going and after 2 left turns when i leave my house, the first right turn sometimes my steering wheel shakes and it feels like it's gonna stall, like it's losing power or the front end is gonna fall out so i'll give it more gas and it will go....but aside these happenings it drives fine. What steps should I take to finding out the problems? What fuses should I check, etc.?
if i were u i would have my brakes checked out because sometimes when your brakes are going bad or your calipers start to stick they can slow one wheel down enough as to where the others are turning more or faster and that in turn can cause your abs lights to come on, when the lights are on all it means is that the abs has been turned on. first check your brakes and calipers, if anything have them readjusted at the same time
Wait a sec....Doesn't the ETS off light come on
IF the ABS light comes on? So, if that's the case....then shouldn't the problem be either a bad sensor or something wrong with the brakes like you said? Also, someone from Quad4forums.com said this...

Make sure all 4 of your wires are connected. They are going to the back of the wheel bearing. If they are connected you might try to unhook and clean them. I have a can of electrical cleaner I use for bad contacts. Spray them and then hook and unhook several times. Hopefully that will fix it. Otherwise I think it's time for new bearings. The ABS/Trac control sensors are built in and cannot be replaced separately.
Any ideas?
Noticed it today, I think you may be right about the brakes/calipers. The lights come on usually when I turn when i first get going or from a stop. Never while i'm making turns at decent speeds. And when i first get going and i take the first right turn away from my house the front end starts to stutter and feels like the car is going to stall...because the rotor is getting stuck in between the caliper and it's being forced to turn and free itself? That might explain the shaking. Hmmm? I really payed attention to it today......
i was at a stop,
i began to turn left,
felt like i was losing power,
front end began to shake and stutter like it was going to stall,
the ETS off and ABS lights came on as soon as this happened,
stuttering lasted about 2-3 seconds,
went away and drove find after that, the lights stay on tho.
Rotor getting stuck then finally the caliper/s let loose and it's fine?
Your plug on your front sensor is loose. The stutter is the car responding to a wheel spin (that is not really there.) and it is shifting to a higher gear and cutting power to a cylinder or two(via injectors)to stop wheel spin(that is not really there.)
