Default My dash SPAZZED out!! ?????

took my car out for first time in 4 months and everything seemed perfect! THEN, my dash went nuts after about 30 minutes and 15 miles!! ABS warnings, Tire pressure warnings, Low oil pressure warning, Engine power loss warning and others!. i stopped and turned off the car for a minute and then re-started it. haven't seen warnings since and car still is running perfect!! the only thing i see that is odd is the oil pressure is lower than usual. it is around 20 - 22 lbs, and not the usual 38 - 40. All power is there and oil is clean and full. ANY suggestions out there?

I have had this problem once in a great while also. Whenever I restart the car is goes away.

I'd go ahead and get a test done on the battery. When it starts to go bad, a lot of very strange electrical things happen to the car.
