The one on the right is the CEL (check engine light). It means there’s a problem with the engine’s operating system - a fault with a component, wiring or the PCM (powertrain control module) has set a diagnostic trouble code.

The one just under and to the left of that is the ETC (electronic throttle control) light. It means there’s a fault with the ETC system. The ETC uses sensors on the gas pedal to detect when the pedal is pressed or released. The PCM reads those signals, then uses actuators and sensors inside the throttle body to control throttle response respective to the pedal movement.

The one on the left is the TCS (traction control system) light and indicates a fault with the system.

The most likely reason all 3 are lit is that the ETC has an issue that triggered the CEL, then the TCS was disabled due to the fault.

In most cases, the throttle body needs to be replaced to repair the fault with the ETC, however that can’t be determined without proper diagnosis. If you’re not comfortable diagnosing the faults, I recommend going to your local dealer or independent shop for service.
