SHAWD, VSA, ABS lights come on

VSA, SHAWD, ABS light come on randomly. The first time it turn on was when I was making a turn. I though it because the road was wet but it just be turning on randomly. Anybody know what it is. Car drives fine. I just turn it off and back again and it clears it out.

how old is your battery?
and is the battery terminals and connections on tight without corrosion?

a battery that is 3 years or older, might be time to change...
additionally, loose battery connections or corroded wires will lead to momentarily power loss or warnings.
just some starting points for you

It's a least 2 years old. I'll check the voltage later and see if it's that and clean it. Car starts up fine

i would tend to think it was a fluke..if it starts up fine and the lights on the dash hasnt come back.
def. check the voltage on the battery as a dying battery can throw lights on the dash for absolutely no reason at all
