ABS & TCS/DSC Indicator Lights on while driving

Yesterday, while I was driving, the ABS light and the TCS/DSC lights came on. They stayed on for the whole trip and I noticed that I couldn't use the DSC OFF button during that time. WHen I switched off and restertaed the engine, everything was back to normal.

From a basic research I did, I found out that it could be some fuses or the DSC sensor but since it only happened once (for the time being) and it is not recurring, what else should I be investigating?

Thanks.

Do you mean that this connector might be lose or damaged? I recently had the front bumper replaced. Maybe during the repair they messed something?
