Worth checking if you have them on in your vehicle.

It's highly likely that the 3 amigos will become a permanent feature sooner or later if you have not undertaken any fix.

Ummm.... Are you getting the self health check sound or are you getting the lights?

that's how they start to sneak up on you , they come out of hiding and flash on, then you turn the engine off and restart then they hide, then this happens a few times until they know you are powerless to do anything, then they attack and stay on. Then its time you do the mod and cut their umbilical cords and do a bypass. that kills them.
If you do a modulator transplant, as soon as they have have their strength back they re attack

Been doing it for about five years off and on! Get the Bing Bong then da da da dah "The THREE AMIGOS"

Then they go away and stay away until she drives it again....

Yes definately noticed on mine if I rush the key turing sequence the chance of them turning on increases dramatically. About time I got around to doing Option B...

Get it diagnosed first, probably could be related to the solder breaking in the ABS module, its common and fixed by Option B, but could quite a few other causes, that wont be fixed by Option B.
