Have you ever gotten DTC soft or hard while going fast from overdrive into a sharp corner (pushing the gas pedal)?

No haven't had anything like that, just that little bit if shudder when starting, but it does seem likely that it is caused by the all wheel drive. I also have a wheel speed sensor acting up, is the electronic differential locker controlled by the wheel speed sensors?

EDL is ABS based -wheel sensors play role.

Pull the speed sensor and inspect it to see if the tip has any rust build up. An owner on this forum had the same problem with the abs activating on one wheel when coming to a stop. After he cleaned or replaced the sensor, the problem was gone.
