Ok so I have been having this same ABS/TRAC OFF lights problem often. It used to happen just once in while, but now it happens annoyingly often. I just took my car into the shop for a new Fuel Tank censor, which by the way didn't even cost me $ 300, so if you have that problem don't let a mechanic rip you off. They saw the TRAC OFF and ABS lights go on when they were just turning the car, they said it could very well just be censors that when they get bumped and turning the lights on, or it could be a bad connection. I will be taking my car back into the same shop soon to have the problem more closely looked at. I'll keep you updated.

Update from Jun 8, 2009: I've had some people asking me in the last couple of months if I ever figured out what to do about this ABS and TRAC lights problem. All I can tell you is that my mechanic let me know it may be a censor problem, but I have not gotten it fixed so I can tell you for sure. But my tranny is dying and I already fixed my gasket leak. So I would suggest you just trade it in ASAP if you started having these problems.
