Default ESP+ABS+Self-lev-suspension lights on

My 70k miles 03 manual allroad lights up all 3 lights (ESP+ABS+Self-lev-suspension) on occasion and especially on short rides. They come on and go off together.
I checked the suspension by leaving the car at the top level overnight and it did not go down. The ABS works fine giving this pulsating sound when breaking in snow.
The owners manual says that ESP light would come up together with ABS if ABS is bad. Is there a common component that would also tie the Self-lev-suspension to it?
I have just got the car last week and still going through manuals...

thanks
-Peter

So you mean that the brake light switch connected to the brake pedal is not disengaging and confuses the computer and it in turn turns ABS, ESP and Suspension lights?
If this is true this would be a very simple fix. I see the adjusting procedure in the manual. Do you think it can be adjusted or just replace it ($10)?
thanks

And it worked. The installation was very simple - just a quarter turn and it is out. The cost was also surprising - $5. I have never bought anything at the dealerships for that price. I guess I switched the right brand this time.
thanks guys!
