Default Dash lights randomly came on.

While i was cruising today going about 70km/h in 5th i noticed that my ABS, Parking brake and Slip lights came on. My vdc was off during this time so all 4 lights were on at the same time. I came to a stop and shut my car off then turned it back on and all the lights disappeared. There didnt seem to be anything wrong with the car. Has anyone else experienced something like this or have any ideas on why it happened? Thanks.

That's weird sounds like it went into some failsafe mode... Was everything going smooth during that time or did maybe you hit a patch of water or something?

It could be a sign of a fuse problem, your ecu going bad (probably not), alternator on the dying end (was there a voltage drop?)

Everything was working fine when the lights were on, and it was a sunny day. And my alternator is working fine theres no problems with it at all. Might have just been a glitch, i let my friend borrow my car couple weeks ago and he told me the same thing happened to him when he was driving it.

Do you have a laptop? Maybe you could get the ODB Scan software and plug your computer into your car and see if you get any weird readings when this happens. Other than that, I don't know... maybe take it to a dealership and have them check it? Something is causing it...
