Limp mode after abs, traction, brake, tire, and key lights come on only highway speed

Few days back Brake,abs ,and traction lights came on with small degrees in power loss. Happened 5 times lasted few seconds on the highway. The next 2 days no issues, until today coming home on the parkway it happend again a few times then got worse.
In a 10 minute drive it continued to intermittently cut out with Abs,brake,traction + now tire light blinking and key light blinking and speedo would drop to 0. This would last 30 to 45 seconds and return to normal till I got off the highway.
any thoughts no lights on at all now?

Yep, i never have on either occasion (i have had two failures in 455,000 miles. You can ignore it for a few weeks like I did until it no longer drove, at which point I had to have it towed to a shop: get a scope on the output (probably high spikes) from a diode failure:check for connections that just came loose.
