Default traction lights

Every so often my abs and traction lights come on together but they don't stay in memory.Once you turn off the car they go away and come back once i been driving for a bit ,but once you cycle the key it goes away again. Does anybody else have this problem or fix ?

you can try cleaning the abs sensors, that might help. Gotta take the brake rotor off, and you'll see a slotted disk, theres a small magnetic sensor that reads the spaces in the disk to tell how fast the wheel is moving. The magnet picks up road debris, and overtime may get poor readings. Good blast with shop air cleans them well.

worth doing once in a while, even if its not the fix.

Ahwile back my traction control light came on, then when I turned the car off it went away, but now it usually comes on after about a minute of driving and stays on? Would cleaning that sensor help me aswell?

like i said, it doesn't hurt to make sure its clean. Theres no way to tell exactly whats wrong with your car without scanning it though, so I really couldn't tell you if its going to fix it..
