The Abs Light Stays On And The 4wd Light Flashes 8 Times. Repeats 15 Seconds

The light started coming ON 3 weeks ago. I was driving on the freeway on a road trip. It has happened 3 times since. Twice in wet weather once totally dry. Every time I had gone more than 30 miles at freeway speeds. Resets after turning engine off.
