What does this mean?

History:

2004 RX-8
Titanium Colour
53,800 miles

Problem:

This morning on my way to work a strange thing happened. All sorts of lights came on amd concerned me a little. The lights in question were:

ABS Light
Brake Light
Slippery Car Light (DSC I think)

All three of these light came on at the same time. Anyone have any ideas why this happened? Should I be worried?

Thanks in advance.

Were you spinning the rear tires at the time?

And did the light go out?

He is out of warranty and has no way to check codes I believe.

I do remember once when a guy had two different size tires on the car it made the DSC and TCS light to illuminate.
