Either a communication failure between the components of the system itself
or fluid levels. I have a '95 Passport and my lights come on
intermittently. I'm told it's a wheel sensor or, from my book, the system
sets the ligth off when it can't "authenticate" to its own system components
at various checks along the way. Wheel sensor quoted to me at about
$80-$100, but no guarantee it's the sensor. Some people have said they've
been able to clean their sensors and have the problem disappear altogether.
I haven't had time to perform this operation yet.
