Recently, I have noticed that sometimes (it's not happening every time) if i hit a pothole or any kind of decent bump on the road, shortly after all the lights will come on on the dash.
This only started recently and while my roommate has an OBD connector to read error codes, it never seems to happen when he is around and plug it in while using his android smartphone so i've been out of luck with that.
What could be happening that a decent bump in the road is causing all of the lights to come on?
See image below -- and if there is anything else I can say to clarify the situation, please lmk -- thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide.
I would not also rule out battery connections since you say this happens when ever you hit a bump
My man...good call..the one terminal is loose! I was able to tighten it up a little with my hand. Pliers wasn't really cutting it to get it even tighter though. Any suggestions?
This definitely makes sense because occasionally I've gone to start my car, it not start right away and once I did get it to start was prompted to enter the radio code, due to the battery losing connection.

Go to the auto store and buy the some battery post shims-- they'll be displayed with the battery clamps, anti-corrosion gels, fiber washers, etc.
My 05 TL has the same problem the VSA, ABS, and ! lights are all on. I've been looking through some of the other forums, and other people with the same problem have been saying there is a possibility that it may be a wheel speed sensor - which might be why your lights go on when you hit a bump.
