ABS & Brake Lights

Whenever I hit the slightest bump in the road my ABS & Emergency Brake light come on. They stay on for a bit then both turn off... now when the ABS is on I tested it and it does not work. Any ideas?
Also I have a 7gen i4 coupe

your switch for the e-brake needs adjustment.

Most cars will disable the abs brakes if the e-brake is engaged and that will result in the light for the brake and abs system comming on.

Check brake fluid while you're at it.

werd! when i first got my accord used, the brake lamp was ALWAYS ******* on everytime i turned the car on. and after 10 minutes of driving it went away. they told me it was the brake fluid, since when it heats up it expands, therefore, cold it condenses, dropping off level. but when you hit a speed bump? i'm not sure, and this might sound stupid, but check your battery connectors. because my battery wasn't connected tightly down once and everytime i hit a bump, weird **** started happening since the battery was barely touching. just a though.
