I had a similar issue where my Traction control and ABS lights would come on randomly. The car would even cut my throttle every so often. When the dash lights were on, I noticed that all my brake lights (except my 4th) were on as if I was pressing the pedal, so I assumed the problem was the brake actuator switch thingy. I have Valenti Tail Lights and the Phasetek 4th kit (tapped into the brake wires), which i was going to disconnect/switch to stock before i took it in to service but i noticed that as I jiggled Phasetek 4th brake light taps, the brake lights function properly and the Traction Control and ABS lights went away. I guess the taps included with the kit are kind of loose and shitty which was causing my issues.

The dash lights had popped up randomly weeks/months after I had made any changes so I never assumed it was the 4th brake light. It would also go away randomly after I restarted the car, up until this week when it was just permanently on no matter how many times I restarted the car. I tightened up the taps and ran the ground wire from the lights to the grounding bolt in the trunk as someone else in a different post had mentioned and so far the issue has gone away.
