I took the car to dealer and there was no stored code but they detect steering angle sensor as vicj stated. No fix.

May be the ABS module is flaky ?

Steering angle sensor needs to be reset after making alignment setting changes. If the car has been aligned several times w/o doing this, the SAS gets further and further out of whack. And that confuses the DSC, which may be causing your ABS/Brake lights.

What exactly do you mean "they dectect steering angle sensor"? Yes, they should be able to read it, but, is is "bad", or is it out of range, does it need to be calibrated, or? If your alignment guy (or you) haven't reset the SAS, I'd try that first and then move on from there.
