need help: check engine light and traction control light on?

whats up tn. so i have a 2010 camry and im coming up on 15000 miles so i know im going to be due for another maintenance. accordingly, the "maintenance required" flasher started going off, so i thought it was all good and i should just take it to the dealership soon. well this morning when i started it up, it started flashing the "maintenance req" but once i backed out and put it in drive, the check engine light popped up as well as the traction control light (car with squiggly tire marks behind it). and now im somewhat paranoid to be driving around in fear of it breaking down on me. should i be worried?

anyone know if its just telling me that i need to get the maintenance done? or could there actually be something wrong...

much thanks

not as bad of a problem as i thought. gas tank cap wasnt on all the way. tightened it, unplugged/reconnected the battery. all is good. plus the reset affected the transmission so its peppy again lol
