Start with checking your brake fluid level and pads

Did you think of looking in your owners manual?

It explains all those silly lights...

Indicator light
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
SLIP and VDC OFF indicator lights come on in
the meter panel.
As long as these indicator lights are on, the
vehicle dynamic control function (except the
ABS) is canceled.
It could be any number of things causing it - from low fluid, worn pads, bad wheel speed sensors, all the way to a dying ABS computer.

Tire size problems wouldn't manifest themselves after 15 minutes of driving - they'd show up almost immediately or randomly in turns.

A connection to a Consult-II could reveal something.
