Default ABS INOP and Brake Lights

Ok so I've had it where my ABS INOP and E-Brake lights have come on either when I start the car or when I'm just going down the road. Also, my ASR light stays on if I hit the switch to turn it off. However, the lights usually turn off after I turn the car off and start it again. The brakes feel fine and I checked and added some brake fluid and it didn't solve the problem. Any ideas what could be causing them to come on?

Here's what the gauges look like when they are on...





Btw if there is another thread or something on this just point me in that direction, with a link, I didn't want to search because I'm in kinda of hurry. Thanks guys.

By any chance, have you upgraded the wheels/tires recently?

Well the problem with mine is the control module which for them to fix at the dealer is $950 so I'm not going to fix it and just run without ABS because its not worth it imo.

Btw from what I've read you can't just tune the lights out, you either can leave it as is, fix it which turns the lights off of course, or delete the whole ABS system but that doesn't turn the lights off either.
