yesterday, i backed out of a driveway and hit the curb on my front right side of my car. not even 5 minutes after this 3 lights went on in my car saying "trac off", "service viechle soon", and "ABS". I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. what is that? what could have happened? if anyone sees this please let me know what i could have done!
Thanks!

Sounds like you dinged the ABS sensor in the wheel. Probably need to have it checked.

Sounds like you damaged the sensor for the ABS and the traction control turned off due to this hitting the curb.
Smacked it good dincha
You should set up an appointment with the dealer or better yet drop it off tonight on the way home.
Messed up ABS and a front right front wheel isn't something you want hanging around.

Take it to a chain auto parts store like Advance or O'Reilly's. They can plug a little computer into your car and give you a printout that will tell you why the lights are on. It might be something simple - you might have just knocked something out of alignment. By the way, the check up at the parts store is free. They can't fix anything, but they can tell you what your car's computer says is wrong. We have a sensor that malfunctions occasionally and makes the "service engine soon" light come on.

a sensor went bad when you hit the curb. the sensor is tied in with your abs and traction control. it will have to be replaced.
