I have issue that when the car is on the cruise and ETCS and air bag works and the screen starts reset and air conditioner giving check the air conditioner connection and when I press brake all these lamps turns off and traction lamp turns on, and even the car gets smooth. When I press brake and the ABS lamp always on, I went to several shops and no one figure out the problem.

It has to do it while a mechanic looks at it. However try cleaning the body to battery ground and engine to battery ground as it sounds more like a ground issue. It may be picked up by a mechanic's scanner though if it is doing it when you take it there.

If there is a short in vehicle it has to be physically checked to find out where it is. So it will have to have a mechanic try to find it.
