Or maybe I should have made the title "Idiot, with light question"...

Was driving home the other day and all of a sudden, three idiot lights came on. The flat tire indicator, the dsc indicator light, and the abs light. Along with the lights, throttle response became.... bizaar. Press down on the gas, nothing happens for about 3 seconds, then it starts accelerating. The car now drives normally, but the lights are still on. Gonna be calling the dealership to get this looked at but was wondering if y'all know what's going on?

Thanks,

--abel

I had similar symptoms when a wheel speed sensor came loose. A couple of miles later it got chewed up by the wheel.

Don't know what caused the problem but if you cycle the key on and off three times,the lights should go out if the problem is gone,but the history of the problem will be stored in the computer"black box"and your dealer tech should be able to call it up
