ABS and Traction lights come on while driving (video)
 
Here is a video of the ABS and Traction lights coming on as I am driving.
It can come on randomly, but i was able to reproduce it on uneven corners.
Here im driving up my office building garage in 2nd.
I have also gotten this in 6th on the freeways.

When i turn the car off and back on the lights will usually be off.
However, tonight when i turned the car on to head home, the ABS and Traction lights came on with the car. First time this has happened.

When the lights come on, i can feel no difference in driving tho.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

EDIT: Also the 3rd brake lights (on the rear window) seems to come on as well. the lights in the 3rd brake light are "dim" and when i brake they get brighter.
also, i dont know if this makes a difference, but i have a 4th brake light kit that is tapped into the left brake light.

Check your ABS sensor wires. I'm betting one may be chewed up

Take it to the dealer. You have a video as proof. You have a warranty for a reason.

yea i will be taking it in this weekend.
they couldnt reproduce it last time so they asked if i can get some video so they can have proof when they contact subaru.

when they hooked up my car, they said the logs showed no errors or warnings at all.

I have the forth brake light installed 2 days ago and today that same thing happened to me.... It has to be something with the light thing. I too installed it off my left taillight....

i found that the Black wire that was tapped was loose.
check all your connections and make sure they aren't loose.
