'03 Windstar AdvanceTrac problem

Getting intermittent illumination of the "Trac Off" idiot light accompanied by "Check AdvanceTrac" in the message center. When I say intermittent, van will go days without any indication of a problem, then the lights will go on. We'll turn off the engine and when turning it on again the indicator lights may or may not come on again. Seems like a random occurrence (though nothing is "random" with these things).

FWIW, our vehicle was not part of the recall...or at least we got no letter... for the TI brake pressure switch, which, I understand, could cause problems with the AdvanceTrac system, among other things. Worth checking/replacing the switch anyway?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated before I take the vehicle into the dealer and they start with an expensive replacement of the ABS module in their trial-and-error method of attempting to resolve the issue.
