    Could be an intermittent/open connection to one or more wheel sensors. Been there.

    It might take a week, but eventually someone will probably suggest finding out why the lights are on.

    If you do not have a scan tool for retrieving the trouble codes, you can get at least the ABS and VSC codes using a simple length of wire, and counting light blinks.

    In my example, intermittent wheel speed sensor signal was the code, FWIW.

    ... which kind of reinforces the point that if a different person has lights come on in a different car, finding out what the code is in that car might also help that person find that problem.

    Point taken though there are experience and typical fault paths to consider, as well.
