Intermittent SVS Light

Alright now here's a weird one. Lately, after about 10 min of driving after a cold start, the engine quickly cuts out for less than a second and it feels like the brakes are briefly
applied. About 10% of the time, the SVS, trac off, and pcs lights then turn on until I restart the car. Could this be a failing wheel speed sensor? Or am I looking at a controller somewhere. I doubt it's the abs pack, as the abs still works. I know this is hard to diagnose over the Internet without codes, but I was wondering if anybody has
seen something like this before. It can happen while cruising or even while accelerating hard and it happens only once after a cold start. The engine is fully warmed up by this time, too.
