Mine come on when I get a little skid on a dirt road while braking. First time it happened, all those lights came on, and I did a search on this web site and a guy told me to unplug the ABS plug (on the brake master cylinder, along with about five other plugs) while the engine is running, turn off the engine, plug the ABS back in, and restart the engine. This should re arm the system. It took a a couple of times before I got it right. Can't remember which plug it is, but a car manual might show which one it is. Hope this helps.
