Default ABS inop, traction control off and brake light on? What should I check first?

These light will come on some times after driving for a few minutes. They will stay on until I turn the car off for a few minutes. Then when I restart the car they will be off. They don't come on every time I drive the car but they do come on a lot of times. I can't really tell if it is bumpy roads that cause them to come on or what. I have driven the car over 40 or 50 miles and the lights not come on and then some times I will pull out of the drive way and they pop on. What do you guys think is causing this.

Well they are all related to one problem, most likely.

First matter of business is finding someone with a scan tool to read any codes stored in the EBCM. That would be the best place to start.
