The only thing that ever caused that to happen on mine has been when running my 26" front runner skinnies and my 27" QTP slicks out back. When driving down the highway this lights up the "ABS inop" and "brake" lights like a Christmas tree. Once I get to the track and turn it off, then make a pass thru the 1/4, the lights go out. Then on the way home, as soon as I get up to freeway speed for a couple of miles, VOILA! Back on come the ABS inop & BRAKE lights again. This might not be anything to do with your problem, but just thought I would mention that the ABS hates different diameter tires on the highway.

Good luck finding your problem.

Yeah same with me, but I run a 28" tire out back and they light up like 2 mins into driving.
