Idiot lights coming on Went to back out the drive and noticed brake,antilock and traction off lights lit up on the dash.No loss in braking,turned off engine and restarted the engine no lights on.Now about every other time the lights stay on.Has anyone else experienced this problem?Could it be a sensor unpluged or what?
Re: Idiot lights coming on I'd guess it is a bad (or unplugged/dirty, etc) sensor or sensor connector. I did see that condition once after an unusually aggressive autocross run (meaning, sideways, out of shape, all over the brakes and really slow), and restarting the car cured it and it has not been back. I'd start looking at the sensors etc for starters.
Good luck!

Re: Idiot lights coming on I may be shooting in the dark.. but do our cars have a low brake fluid sensor? That may be causing it if you're brake fluid is low? I know my old car had a sensor like that....
