I had the same problem. I was going to bring my car into the dealer because it was 20 days old at the time, so I placed my stock wheels back on to make sure they had nothing to complain about. Lights went away with the stock wheels.. so I put the volks back on and checked the tire pressure.. they weren't off by much.. probably 4psi variation at most, but evened them back and and the lights haven't been back.

First thing I'd check would be tire pressure. Good luck!

When they did the alignment, they may have knocked one of the wheel sensors loose or damage the connector. Go look on all four corners and see which on the messed up! With you putting the e-brake in there......I would say check the rears first!

Wow, that is interesting timing...I had the same thing happen this morning. I turned the car off and on and hey presto the lights disappeared?

I assume I haven't just hidden the problem?

Be Careful. My alternator was faulty and overcharged the system which resulted in those lights plus more. The damage was to the ABS brain to the tune of $2,300.00. Get it checked ASAP. I waited which resulte din more damage. Not saying my problem was the same as yours because my power steering light was on but had I had the alternator checked earlier I could have avoided the damage.
