I always release the emergency brake when driving, so what could the reason these lights are on?

The first thing I would do is check the brake fluid and if low I would check the brake pads, if the fluid level is okay, I would run the codes for the ABS because it sounds like you have a wheel speed sensor that has gone out.

Here is a guide to show you how to get the codes:

Here is how to change out the ABS wheel sensor in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
