Hm...the right turn is a clue, isn't it...not sure what it means, though.  I'd
start by checking electrical continuity through the sensor circuits, starting with
the front ones (the plug-in connectors are at the front wheel wells and behind the
back seat on my car). And while I was performing that check, I'd be bending and
jiggling the wire to the sensor to detemine whether it had developed an
intermittent failure.

Hope this helps,
