It may be a faulty switch if you can get a second hand one and swap it over thats the easiset and cheapest way to try that .
 how are you driving the car when the light comes on if you are driving it hard and on loose road surface the wheels may be slipping which will cause the light to illuminate  :y

I'm slightly confused .. your title clearly says  lights and you use the word "simaltaniosly"  (sic) ... so I'm guessing you get more than 1 light on !!!

Now .. UK Miggy's only have the one Traction Control light .. so I'm guessing the catera does  too...  but we also both have an ABS light ..

Now if the TC light & ABS light are coming on intermittently ...  my first question is .. what does the speedometer do ???  because if that is dropping zero as well then it could well be an ABS ECU problem .. ?? 

If you have a handbook please identify the lights as accurately as posible .. :)

Ok ... have a read here ... even though your speedo is not affected (yet) it might be the start of the problem.

If it is the ABS ECU then in the UK an ECU repair is possible ... and the company  BBA - REMAN

may be able to help ... but I have no idea if the catera system is different to Uk or not . :(

any tec 2 or snap-on computer will tell you which part of the abs system is faulty, i had a police one where they had cut the loom then rewired it.   i re-made the connections propperly and it cured it.
might be  afaulty sensor or a faulty ECU for the abs on its way. but then the speedo would fail, so sounds just like a abs sensor to me bud.
