ABS, E-brake and traction control lights all at once?

Hi everybody
So, I was driving home today and all of a sudden the ABS, E-brake and traction control lights come on. I was driving with the flow of traffic and not pushing it at all. The brakes felt fine although the traction control had turned off And just to make sure I checked that the e-brake was fully dis-engaged. I got home reset the ecu with the odo button and brake pedal method. No lights on start up. Backed up and heard the ABS system self check "clunk". Went for a drive and car felt fine did a couple hard braking stops and no lights. I have an 04 GT 6 spd with 60,000 km. Anybody have any ideas, should I be worried about my brakes failing on me?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Start by checking the fluid level in your master cylinder and the ABS fuse.

Thanks, I'll check that out. Do you know if the traction control system and ABS share a fuse?

Try this. Turn the key to the on position and move the steering wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left. See if that works and turns them off
