VSA/ABS/BRAKE/CHECK FUEL CAP lights on

Last night on my way home all 4 of these lights came on. It's an 05 AT 120k miles. I tightened the fuel cap and that cleared from the info center but the rest of the lights remain on. The VSA button does nothing. I've read some similar posts but none with the fuel cap as well. I haven't had any service done that recently,the ECM was replaced two years ago,i've had the timing belt done, and got a new battery last month.I read a post about the brake fluid being related to this issue but im not low on fluid. Just want to know if its safe enough to drive to the dealership or should I have it towed. Thanks!

Make sure the battery terminals are tight on the battery. And there's no corrosion

Use a volt meter and check the battery. Low voltage could be the issue as well. If low, then it could be a parasitic draw draining your battery. Something like the HFL is a common culprirt
