Default ABS & TCS lights on while driving

I have a 2005 XG350l. While driving, the ABS and TCS lights are coming on intermittantly and the radio flickers on and off. Also, when I came to a stop, the car quit running. I was able to restart it, but then the ABS and TCS lights started coming on and off again. I had the battery changed 3 weeks ago, but this is the first time the car has done this. Also, the brake like comes on when I hit the brakes, but none of the lights are out. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Were the battery cable replaced when the battery was changed? That's where I'd start looking.

No, the battery cables weren't replaced, but I will have them check.

Thanks!

Check the wiring. We had squirrels making a nice little home in
my wife's Santa Fe. Eventually they ate some of the wiring and
the transmission would only shift up until about 25 MPH. Anything
over that and the engine screamed.

The battary cable was not down all the way. So I tapped it down and tightened it and it took care of the problem.

Thanks for all your comments!
