ABS and Traction Light Help!

For the past few days my ABS Light and Traction Control light have been turning on and staying on. This only occurs once my car is warmed up, and I am not 100% sure, but I think it only happens when I have my lights on.

I recently left my dome lights on and had to jump start my battery, and now this is happening, so would it be a problem with my batter or something else?

I have a 2004 Automatic RX-8 with 38,000 miles on it.

Yes I did this the same day I had to jump start my battery.

I am getting ready to order regular replacement tail lights for my 8 to see if that changes anything, and I'll write back on here to see if my tail lights are the problem.

It happened to me too. It was because the low traction of rear-right tire.
After I replaced the tire, those lights were gone.

I think the lights come on when the low traction tire slips while driving.
