Default esp bas light 2008 caravan

i have a2008 caravan. Saturday the esp bas light came on while i was driving and would not go off. when i shut the van off and restarted it the lights were off until i moved the vehicle.
this same cenario kept repeating itself Saturday afternoon and evening . The light would be off after shutting off the vehicle and restarting it. Somtimes it would come back on within moving it a few feet ,other times you may have had to go about a 1/2 mile but the light would keep coming on and staying on while driving. ( no snow or ice)
On Sunday the light did not come on at all.
any ideas what would cause this?
I am going on 600 mile trip in a few weeks and i am a little worried.
What will happen to the vehicle if the light comes on during the trip and i have to keep driving it?

anyone familiar with this situation?

Is it criticle to take in to the dealer even though the light is not on anymore?
in the past i have warning lights come on in other vehicles and the dealers told me they could not do anything unless the lights remain on all the time?

Thanks

Default esp bas

This happens on my 2008 Grand CAravan, but, it has only happened in extremely cold temperatures! I shut the car off, restart it and the lights go out.

I think I read about this happening somewhere in the manual and they said to shut it off and when you restart and continue to drive the lights go out. And so it has on mine. Again, this has only happened twice and each time in very cold temperatures.

Operation of the car does not appear to be affected and I don't really worry about it. It would be nice to know why it happens though!!
