1999 Saab 9-3 repair Question 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 146k miles

The ABS and BRAKE light on my dash turns on intermittently. What could be the cause of that? They seem to turn on when the car goes over a speed bump or if I'm tuning and going up hill. Can someone help me?

Hey, I also have that problem when I turn left. The hand brake light is on at that time. But my ABS light is not on. Is that caused by low brake fluid level? Thank you Sir.
