Default Need help w/ ABS, TRAC, and VSC lights

I have a after market cruise control on my xb. This happen to me twice now, but I turned on cruise control and I'm driving for awhile. All of sudden my cruise control turns off and my ABS, TRAC, and VSC lights turn on. However, once I turn off the engine and restart it, the ABS, TRAC, and VSC lights turn off. What's does this mean? Could there be a problem w/ thoses three systems? Has anyone have had this problem?

When the Christmas Lights come back on, take it to an AutoZone and have them let you borrow the ecu computer checker thingy, that will tell you what the problem is. That is what I did.

No, I swap out my tail lights to LED tail lights.

If you added an LED bulb to your third brakelight this will be your problem. It makes the system think that it's burned out and triggers the lights. I put my regular bulb back in and the lights went away.

the 8ohm/20watt resistors from radio shack worked for me to fix this issue. i don't usually recommend radio shack but that is one part that when you need in your hand same day... radio shack is kind of the only option.

i have searched a lil bit and I have a completely stock 2006 box with 37,000 miles on it and my VSC and TRAC OFF lights come on randomly but go off after turning off the car and starting up again.

I have not done anything to it besides change the oil, fill it with gas and new tires up front. the rears are original. What could be causing the lights to come on? I know I can gas it in the rain and the VSC will flash and I have occasionally heard it beep when it was spinning too much.
