Hi,
This is an interesting one. I will say that if the ABS, traction control, and steering light all came on at the same time, it could be something as simple as a wheel speed sensor. However, without a proper diagnosis, it will become a guessing game which usually results in a lot of wasted money and time.
So, here is what I suggest. What needs to be done first is to have the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires.
In most cases, a traditional scanner will not retrieve codes other than powertrain codes. In this case, we need to check the ABS module, PS module, and so on. If you perform this type of scan, it will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.
Here is a link that explains how it is done:

I could provide basic testing for the wheel speed sensors, but since it seems to be an intermittent issue, it won't be reliable. There should be codes stored in the modules related to what you experienced.
Let me know if this is something you can have done or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
