Default Engine cutoff

hey, ok heres the story. I was going to my sisters house and her driveway is sloped. ok Usually when i let go of the brakes the car stays still it dosnt roll back. Well today i had to take my foot off the brake and the VDIM light came on and i can hear the car try to brake itself. And i know that it was normal because VDIM has the anti roll back thingy, i forgot what you call it. Well it started to roll back and when i pressed the brake the engine light came on and then it shut off and the battery light came on. So i started up the car agian and everything seems normal, but what could have caused this?

Thats odd! I was in the same situation yesterday at a family members house the car started to roll back then trac light started blinking and the car brakes itself but never had any indicator that the engine had anything to do with it.
