Default Brake issue

hey i have a 98' S70 and recently while driving i can feel the brake on the drivers side seem to grab a bit on the rotor but after a while it seems to go away when i get up into 60 - 70 mph and also i have to replace my ABS/traction control module would that be what is causing my brake to grab? because it is putting alot of brake dust on that one rim and i can feel alot of heat coming off it when i get out of my car like its the only brake being used any helpis appreciated thnks

Maybe a caliper going bad.

I doubt the module is causing it.

If the rotors were warped the steering wheel would shake during braking. Mostly under high speed to low speed braking.
