Check your brake fluid.  If its low, thst could be the reason for your break light traction control light and abs light.

If it is low, remember that brake fluid dosent just disappaer, this means that either 1.) your brake pads are worn out and need replaced or 2.) you have a leak in your brake system.

Your engine symbol and check engine light are on?  Are they the same symbol? or is one a matienence required light?

You could take your car to autozone and get the check engine light code read for free.  That would be very helpful in us trying to help you diagnose a check engine light.

I also have three of these lights on.  The ABS, trac control and service vehicle light.  This happened two years ago.  I had it fixed, it was the Brake harness in the front right tire.  It was cracked.  After I had it fixed, the lights went off.  Then 1 year later, the same thing happened.  My mechanic told me that if I do not fix it, I would not have ABS working which I figured would not be a big deal.  I have been driving it with the lights on for over a year now.  This may be part of the problem
