It might be the ABS pressure accumulator that start to go bad, and is not able to hold the pressure when temperature gets high.
You can test the status of accumulator by pressing the brake pedal several times in fast succession. If both lights comes on after only 2-3 pumps, the accumulator is on the bad side.
It should take about 12-14 pumps on the pedal before lights comes on.
Make sure to wait about 2 min after lights goes out before starting to pump the pedal, to let the pump build up full pressure.
Another place could be the pressure monitor switch on ABS unit. They sometimes goes bad, and with that the antilock light stays on.
