I drove the car, suddenly the abs light is on and hand brake light is on as well.
there is noisy sound, I felt the brake is not so sensitive, but still worked.
after 30 seconds, the lights and the sound all gone. The car become normal.
so I keep drove, few minutes later, the sound and lights came again. This time it is about 60 seconds.
on my way home, it happened about 7 times.
I try to use scanner to read the fault code, but nothing in the computer.
which part should I check?

Have the brake system inspected. For fault codes you were likely using a code reader that can only access the Engine Computer. You need to read the codes in the Anti-Lock Brake Computer to read the codes in it.

When the red warning light turned on it's usually due to a problem that involves loss of brake fluid. The yellow ABS light will turn on too even though the defect isn't really in the ABS system. It's because the computer may not be able to run the ABS system properly due to low fluid level.

Check brake fluid level in the reservoir.
