Default intermittent service 4 wheel drive light

Hello, I'm looking for ideas as to why my abs, traction control, and service 4 wheel drive dash lights are showing up intermittently , also, when getting on the highway for instance with a medium to heavy throttle, my engine light begins flashing and engine goes into what seems to be limp mode, after a few seconds the engine light goes off but truck continues to run rough, then engine light begins flashing again then goes back off, it will do this for about a minute then finally the engine light will go off and engine will smooth out and seemingly run fine.

any help would be much appreciated

Look at your ABS sensors at each wheel, check for broken wires to each sensor. Been there done, found a broken wire to rear wheel ABS sensor, had same issues as you.
