What is described in this thread is the car going into ice mode. There are certain circumstances that cause it but basically wheel slip at certain wheel speeds engages it and it doesn't shut off until the car has been shut off and cooled down. Then the next time you start it, the lights will remain on until you drive a bit and the car detects that it hasn't lost traction, then the mode will shut off and the car will return to normal.
Had a bit of a freak out when it happened to me just last month when trying to go up my street that hadn't been plowed yet and was spinning tires the whole way but no engine codes when I stopped. Car seemed to be running normally, just no TC. Nothing I could have done that day so I parked it and was going to take it into the dealership the next day. On the way, the lights went off. I asked about it anyway and that's when they told me about the ice mode.
