Default Strange stuff going on. Help.

Ok, this is what has happened a couple of times in the last month. I begin to drive and the car starts to omit a strange noise from the steering wheel area. Then suddenly the ABS and VSC lights turn on. Some other lights also turn on. I stop the car and just turn it on again; wait 2 min and the problem goes away. What do u think is wrong?

does your check engine light come on, if so then most likely its your TPS gone bad, tell them to replace it and see if that solves the problem
