Default Newb...few lights on dash

Hello to all on this forum. While driving in stop and go traffic the other day in near 100 degree weather out of the blue I noticed my parking brake, tcs and what I believe is a hazard light and became lit at the same time. I'm wondering if a sensor failed in the drive-train. The car drives fine. Any info?

It's the light with the exclamation point inside of a triangle.

That triangle with the exclamation point is for the VSA system. To figure out what caused the code, you may be able to have it scanned by a generic code reader at a parts store.

If not, you will have to take it to a dealership for their Honda-specific scanner.

One of the numbers reasons for these lights turning on is low brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Check your brake fluid level as it is simple to check. There is also a float in there that you want to make sure is not stuck. Its another simple item to check.
