Default ABS lights on and off?

Today I was driving, I reved to 5500 in second and shifted to 3rd, then The car in front of me brakes, SO I braked as well... Furthermore, a low traction light came on ( normal)..... But then I noticed the low trac light didnt turn off and as I drove the brake light came on and then a strange thing my ABS off light came on. as well, I drove it for a few minutes, since by this time I was on the Freeway, then the low trac light came off... but the ABS off and brake light was still on... I exited and I tested my brakes, they locked. my ABS wasnt working, I tried this a few more times Braked hard and they locked up again... SO I pulled over and I shut the car off, turned it back on, and everything was off, I braked the ABS worked just fine. anyways I just thought this was weird and was wondering, why it was talking place?

Have you checked your brake fluid level?

My Brake fluid needs to be changed, but can it be from that?

yup it can.

also check your battery terminals to make sure they are clean.

thats one of the first things to go inop if you undervolt, and getting poor current from the terminals can cause that.

when it first did it to me I thought my alternator was going out, (I was seeing pretty bad spikes)

turns out my terminals were just corroded.
