Weird Problem?

Rainy day in the Chi today and it sucks...anyways:

I was driving home from school and went down a street that was being resurfaced. I hit that little lip between the gravel and pavement a little fast (maybe like 20mph) and didnt think much of it.
I glanced down at my speedo while going past a cop and noticed a couple more lights on that shouldnt have been on.
Now the seatbelt light was on (which I knew becuz I wasnt wearing it) but also the "ABS" "VSA" and that triangle were all lit up. Nothing funny with the car, was driving normally but I decided to slow down 10mph just to be safe
I got home turned off the car and came back after a couple hours, turned it on and no lights were on.
Should I be worried?

Cars are like a big computer. Sometimes they just need to do nothing for a little before they go back to normal. Just like a PC...

I would have suggested to take the battery out and see what happens if you get the same symptoms but apparently you don't.

Way I see it, nothings wrong

Ive had that happen to me twice In the last three month and thought nothing of it but I would also really like to know what it is

I originally thought it was the abs sensor getting wet ???

VSA is doing it's job. You lost traction over that gravel that's why it lit up. If it is off now, nothing to worry about. If its still on (constantly) one of your speed sensors need to be replaced.

normally the triangle flashes if you lost traction, it was the triangle and VSA light on the bottom left of the instrument cluster that both stayed on for the rest of my journey home along with that abs light on the top right hand side.

^ Well, I have similar problems from time to time in my CL-S. Mine is from my system......the bass will hit so hard while im at a stop light, that it will trigger the /_\ and the VSA lights to go on and stay on, until I turn off my car and restart it. LOL

I have 2 10s and 2 12s and about 2800 watts pumping through it (have the amps turned down)

But this may be the reason its coming on but I have never had it come on when my system is on Does anyone else who has a system with a similiar problem

side note whats in your system

Now Im quite confused by this anomaly. It has happened another 2 times after the original incident. Strange thing is just under normal conditions and nothing different like the first time. So far its been:
1. hitting the "lip" in the road a little faster than normal
2. pulling outta the gas station after tanking up
3. pulling outta a parking space
I do not "King Kong in my trunk" so I doubt that it is because of heavy hitting bass.

I would really like to know if theres a place that tells you what this might be. Would it be in the owner's manual?
