ESP,BAS, and ETS lights are on...anything serious?

About a half hour ago my dad and I were driving around, and when I started the car and put on the brakes to put it in drive, the BAS ESP, and ETS lights came on, but nothing seems wrong with the car when driving,althought BAS, ESP, and ETS are not used in normal driving, so they might be malfunctioning, I can't tell. Is this anything serious? My dad is taking his car in on Wednesday anyways for his service(FSS indicator, 100 miles left), so we'll have it checked out..thanks for any info on the warning lamps!

EFF YOU JACKIE
Same thing happened a few times on my CLK. Turned out to be a sensor. If the ML is under warranty it is no cost, otherwise, I think the sensor is about 100 bucks. No major worries. Hopefully
