I have a 2011 Toyota Camry SE. The check engine, battery, and oil light all came on at the same time and then the car stopped. Any ideas on the issue?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Before this happened, the check engine light started flashing and then the
traction light came on and stayed on. I turned the car off and then it started right
back up again.

I've found that when multiple lights display and flash at the same time or at random, the battery or alternator, (power source) wind up being is usually the issue. The fluctuation of power seems to make the lights go crazy and may stop the car from operating.

My car too, stopped on the freeway and the oil light came on and battery light, engine light and traction light. I took to mechanic they sid its oxygen sensor and he fixed it but till car stops and the engine light is on. A friend said maybe it's the exhaust camshaft sensor...I should replace it.. I don't know why my car keeps stopping. Its 2011 Toyota Camry. Please help desperate me.
