Should I worry?

Okay, so my wife had the car last night and when she returned the:

Check Engine Soon
SLIP
TCS

light came on she said it came on as soon as she exited the highway and turned the overdrive off. When I turn the car off and on the SLIP and TCS light come off but turn back on minutes later. Do anyone of you guys/ladies know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance

If i remember correctly, when all 3 come on at the same time it's either your MAF or your coils.

Check one or the other.

well why does she turn the O/D on/off any ways ? leave it on to use the higher gear and lower the rpm to save gas, the VQ has plenty of torque down low to pull the car like that

oh and i dont know why those lights came on randomly, have the car scanned i guess with OBDII

i heard that o/d off is good for when you goin uphill, i feel the pickup aswell when i go uphill and have o/d off, it supposidely saves gas when u have o/d off while going uphill
