Bare in mind that the 3 amigos are actually telling you that something might be wrong, They very rarely come on for no reason, just for the hell of it.
You're going to need somebody who can read the codes and let you know where the fault might be, then you're going to have to carry out the repair, or get someone to do it for you and then check the codes again and be sure to delete all the historic codes which might have been stored.
There are two major problems which could cause the 3 amigos; one or more faulty wheel speed sensors and/or wheel hubs, or a fault on the Shuttle Valve Switch plate or its connection inside the ABS modulator.
Clearing the lights and then guessing where the fault might be isn't the best way to approach the diagnosis.

Thanks bud .... yeah the wheel bearing had collapsed as in the photo which I'm assuming was the reason why they came on.... loud grating noise followed not long after by the 3 lights.....checked the bearings first and found this so replaced both sides .... hopefully now get it plugged in somewhere and either check that it was that that put the lights on and get them cleared.
