If you are driving in slick conditions on snow and ice or on wet pavement, this could be NORMAL OPERATION. The lights are coming on to let you know that the Traction Control System (TCS) and the Antilock Brake System (ABS) is actively correcting a wheel slip condition.
If this is happening on dry pavement, and you are not driving like a maniac, (making the wheels slip and slide) then there is possibly a problem with one of your wheel speed sensors that is making your TCS and ABS computers "think" that there is a wheel slipping. You will have to scan your computer system and watch the wheel speed sensor data to find out which one is malfunctioning.
If you have an after-market cruise control system, you'll need the specs from the company that manufactured it. Otherwise, it's guess work. Does the Check Engine light come ON when this happens? Whenever the "Check Engine" light comes on, there is always a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) stored in the ECM (Engine Control Module). You'll need an OBDII (On-Board-Diagnostics) scanner to retrieve any codes recorded/set in ECM. See if there's a P0500 DTC. I imagine the cruise control system uses this signal as well as the Speedo. P0500Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
The vehicile's speed sensor is on the transmission almost directly below the throttle body
It is a three pin connector (pin 1=power-12VDC, pin2=ground, & pin3=signal).
