Is this an emergency?!(inst panel lights)

Today i drove to 7-11. No problems with that 2 minute ride. I get back to car,start it up, and the following lights lit up and stayed on when i started the car: ABS,SLIP,& TCS OFF (obviously traction control,i hit the switch manually to make sure i didnt hit it on accident, but it didnt do anything)
This was earlier today, and theyve stayed on all day.
Whats the consensus on this? Urgent issue,or give it a day? Also, im assuming this would be something covered under warranty correct?( my pads and rotors are ok,btw)

side note: are there any sensors which would be related to this problem near the muffler. My muffler and the connecting pipe are bouncing around like crazy this week,maybe they banged into something?

if you car is still under warranty, then yes, it should be a covered repair.

could be one of several things, from a WSS to a failed module... you might check for chafed or otherwise damaged wires, but its easiest just to pull codes and go from there.

whats a WSS?(off the top of my head....wheel speed sensor?) Tomorrow I'll check for damaged wiring,it was too dark by the time i got home. I should add, no Check Engine Light, just the 3 related ABS/TCS lights.

You think my strobing rainbow ground-effect neons are messed up?!!! Nah,just kidding,all stock as far as exhaust,pipes,electrical wiring. I wasnt even sure if the problems were related,but that would be a big coincedence if both went wrong in the same week (dashboard lights for a brake problem, and loose hanging exhaust.) I wanna look real quick before i take it in,just for the hell of it. Good lookin on the helpful responses.
