Default Wheel Spacers and Warning lights? Anyone

I dont know if this is the problem but, I put spacers (20mm front and 25mm back) on my stock IS 250 to widen the stande and looks and after 3-4 days driving it, the check engine light came on and the tracktion control light also came on????????
Has anyone had these things happen??
I have appointment tomorrow with service at the Lexus dealer hopefully the spacers are not to be blame for this and it is just ruting check up of the 30,000 miles it has.

Check your ABS wires up front that are behind the rotor. It probably came loose. I had a similar problem.

When I lifted my Tacoma, the ABS light came on because I stretched the cable and broke a wire inside. But, the service engine light never came on. I think it's probably just a coincidence. I've had my spacers on for a week and put about 800 miles on the car without any issues.

Lexus already called me to pick up the car. No issues found just a check engine light malfuntion when car was cold. No codes were found. $47.00 for an oil and filter change and gone.
