Strange thing happened this morning

As i was driving in to work this morning, going around an onramp from one highway to another (somewhat fast, maybe 50) my ABS, Ebrake, and traction control lights all popped on. The car drove fine, i checked the emergency brake to ensure that it was off, so I decided to pull over. I shut off the car and gave a quick look, turned it back on and everything was fine.

Anyone see this or have an idea what may have happened?? hopefully there will be no nasty surprises in my future

U had a Intermitten fault. Your probably did something to activate the ABS system and it failed. The abs system goes through certain checks everytime the car is started, so when you turned it off and restarted it, it did a self check and everything appears good at that time. Good news is that a fault code (DTC) will be stored in the ABS module. It could happen again the next time you have an ABS event.

If it was a bad ground the light would stay on.

Your problems are all related to that X-men wing :-D

.... j/k

Probably an intermittent fault, but I would suggest giving your ABS system a "test" to be sure (i.e., wait for rain, find an empty parking lot, and have at it :-D )
