Dash warning lights
Tuesday, September 16, 2008 5:53 AM
Hello all, I am new to the forum. I have an '03 Sunfire that was my wife's, but has become my DD since we had our baby. It has been a great car, with very little problems at all! One reoccuring problem that has me stumped is this. Occasionally when I start it, and begin to move, 3 warning lights will come on, the ABS light, the Trac Control light, and a service light. If I turn the car off, and immediately restart it, they go off, and all is fine. Has anyone experienced this, and what did you do to stop it? Thanks for your help.

well my first opinion would be a wheel bearing/speed sensor is dropping out on you. Since that would cause that combination of lights to come on if failed. Try to have the car scanned to see if they can pull up whats going on.

But that is my guess.

x2 if its drivable roll down to an autozone/checkers/ect and they'll scan it for free and tell you whats going on with your engine

I work at an advance...the scanner only does engine codes so it won't tell you anything about those things...it only does check engine lights. My 2002 LS Sport had the same problem and I replaced all of the ground wires and the problems went away. If after a while of the lights being on, the cluster goes nuts and every light turns on and starts reading error on the odo....you are having the same problem had.
