Today out of no where i get a traction control light and run flat light on. What does this mean, and how do i fix it?

 

check the air pressure in all of your tires.

 

If you tires all seem fine, just press the reset tire button

 

Exactly.

 

Is your brake system warning lamp on ,also? If so, this could indicate a failure of one of your wheel speed sensors.

I had the same problem after my accident... You have to go have the dealership reset both... and replace a wheel sensor...

 

No brake lamp warning....however i did try and press the reset button a couple times, and it didn't do anything. So i'll try and check all the tire pressure next. So if one of the tire pressure is low, it'll light both DSC and tire light at the same time and not go away?

 

yes, it turns off abs and stability control, probably since the computer wouldnt be able to properly determine the aproximate air pressure in the tires and thru wouldnt be able to properly compensate for a spin or a quick stop.

you may have to drive for a while after you put the same pressure in all the tires before the lights co off.

 

Thanks for all the replies! I filled the tires up and reset, lights are all off now and normal. One other question....Is the powersteering always just loud? I checked fluids and everything. Just wondering if it's normal for coopers to whine.

 

yeah, the pump isnt belt driven, its got an electric motor on the pump instead. your hearing the motor whine.

 

Cool thanks for the info.
