Can anyone tell me why these lights would come on randomly. It was fine this morning, I parked for an hour and came back and these lights stayed on after the system check. No warnings on the LCD display and according to the Torque app on my phone, no codes in the ECU. I am at a loss as to why these lights would be on. Everything drives normally, brakes function normally, etc.

I think its the TPMS which i think stands for tyre pressure monitoring system , one of your tyres maybe lower than the others due to a failing valve in your tyre, that has a battery in it that communicates with the car to make your abs work, sadly when the valve or battery goes the lights come on when you get the valve changed make sure they can code it to the car otherwise youll have the same lights on. Hope that helps

I would say an abs sensor on one of the wheels is not registering. Need to take it in to find which one.
 
Is there a separate control or switch for your traction control? Maybe you accidentally bumped it and turned it off?
