Default DTC Problems

The other morning i get in the car to go to work, start her up and listen that sweet sound of the pace cars purrrr...

Then look I look down at the guages, hell it looked like vegas, lights on everywhere...

said to service traction system or something to that effect, the engine light and abs light was on....

so i killed it and started it again, and everything was back to normal....

what could cause this, is it a concern?

Could be the battery about to go out. Other members have reported similar things happening when their battery was going bad.
