Abs, brake light at startup

Abs, brake light at startup
1998 Ram 4x4.
My ABS and Brake light sometimes come on at startup, but not always .When they do come on , I have verified that I Do Not have Abs. But when I start up and they are off they work as they are supposed to. In any case, I always have brakes and I have never had a problem with speedo (even when lights are on) . Even though my rear speed sens ohm check ok , I changed it anyway. I replaced extension plug as well, and cleaned all connectors in rear and at control mod. No change. Seems to have a mind of its own. This has been going on for years but now I have a boat to pull and I don't want to risk it. I would say ratio of lights at start up (no abs) is about 4 to 1 no lights at start up (working abs) Any thoughts?
I posted this on the new members thread as well. Sorry, just new to posting.

No your reader won't work. Even my Snap-On won't work and tells you, what I told you above, to do. Just get a piece of wire strip the ends. Stick one end in pin 13 and the other to a ground (I use the metal part of the steering column. And then the abs light will flash. If it's a 2 digit number you will have a long pause between then. For example let's say you have code 12 it will go like this: flash long pause flash flash and then will repeat. Make sure you count the flashes. It will start as soon as you take the wire off the ground.
