Default Lights on abs traction control

I have a 1997 C5 the ABS & Traction control lights are on. The funny thing is they seem to be temp driven when the air temp is over 70 F the lights come on at start up and when the car is warm they go out and everything works as normal. This has ben driving me crazy does anybody have any good ideas. The lights have been on all last month except for a warm day on 71F we had last month in Cleveland ohio and the lights did not come on all the way home. The next day 35 F and the lights are back on and have been on ever since.
Does any of that make sence ot anyone?
Thanks in advance if you can help.

Check for codes through the DIC....a scan tool is not required(and may not show all codes) on a C5.
