only thing i can think of is a wheel sensor at fault, normaly when one gose it ligts up bright and thats it but stranger things have happened, there magnets so try taking wheels off and clean out the grooves on the pick up point behind the break disks and maybe gently remove/get to in situe the sensors and gently blow dust off as these tend to be a bit delicate other than that i duno its wha id do anyway
