07 MCS question.

So I get off work at midnight and here in Colorado Springs the temp was 0 when I got off work and dropped to -3 on the drive home. When I got in my car and started driving the traction control light with the exclamation point to the right of it went on and the e brake light stayed yellow. When I turned my car off and restarted it they both went off and didn't come back on from when I pulled over and turned the car off and restarted it.

I read in the owners manual that the traction control light with the exclamation mark next to it means a faulty traction control system, didn't find anything on the brake light staying on yellow. My question is, should I be worried? Or since they turned off should I be ok? I know in extreme cold my radio screen takes a second to change so maybe those lights did the same? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Tyler

How old is the battery? MINI's do weird things when the battery is starting to go bad.

Not sure. Bought the car from CarMax where I work, and I know if a can has a bad/old battery we will usually replace them.
