ABS light randomly comes on

07 R56 S. my abs light randomly comes on, although it seems to happen sometimes during hard acceleration or corners. the traction control and brake light symbols come on at the same time too. with CC-ID 042. no fault codes. its probably one of the abs/wheel speed sensors right? if one of the sensors went bad, I wish I could tell which one. theres one on the front left and right rear?

I got a scanner that can read abs codes. these are the ones I'm getting under the abs category:

5DE5 - brake-pad wear indicator front: signal implausible
5E5C - brake-pad wear indicator front: brake pad
5E31 - control unit: voltage fault, undervoltage
5E30 - control unit: voltage fault
5E2D - hydraulic unit: supply pump motor
5E58 - hydraulic unit: motor running louder
5E2E - hydraulic unit: supply, pump motor

I've had a worn brake pad sensor before and it showed a different type of code, I think it was a cc-id code, or a generic fault code that my $10 bluetooth scanner read. now I'm wondering if that worn brade pad sensor code is a old code from years ago when I replaced the brakes? I don't really know how these fault codes work but I'm thinking I should clear them all and see what comes back. perhaps some are left over from a very long time ago. also the fluid level is good. and none of the codes suggest its low. I think whatever is bad is triggering all these codes. cause I searched on this site: https://my.obdcloud.com/dtc_codes/mini/dtcs?search=2e31
and 3 of the codes are for 3 different wheel speed sensors. I took the plugs going to the DME out today and blew compressed air. didn't fix it.

also, the code descriptions I put next to the codes are not accurate. those descriptions are coming from the scan tool.
