Default Please help!!!

Recently there's been a lil snow fall here in the north east region, one day will driving, I noticed the check engine light, and the traction control light have both come on in my car. This never has happened since ive had it. I got the car w/ around 88k with it in very good condition. I now have jus under 108k. I haven't done much to it other. Than replace all rotors, brakes, tires regular oil changes every 3500. Firstly what could be wrong that these lights have came on (check engine, emergency brake, traction control) secondly is it bad that I have still been driving it....please help kno ima have to drop doe to fix ....thanks

use a OBD II to check out the code or go to your local Auto Zone they should check it for you for free.
