I occasionally have the brake warning lights come on at start up and the traction control light has come on all on its own once or twice. Ive had the car scanned and no fault codes. The only thing i can think of its the ballasts from my HID's interfering with the ECU. Do you have aftermarket HID's?
Yeh I've got hids in they have been in for last 2 months strange they would just start playing up but il unplug them and hopefully that solves the problem
HID ballasts are known to cause interference with the ESP/ABS system for some reason. there's a few threads on here regarding it and also one on mounting your ballasts somewhere so they dont interfere with the cars computers. 
took the hids out put them back to normal bulbs still the same problem persists but now the wipers dont work which is a pain when you live in scotland lol checked the earth all seems fine no water in the pollen or ecu just a nighmare comes and goes every couple of seconds
