Warning light question...???

Today I noticed that my ABS, TCS and TPS lights were on. I turned car off and did a restart... Problem went away for a bit and then the lights came back on and would not go back out. I noticed this happen a week or so ago and then it went away until today. The toggle cluster is loose. I was thinking of pulling it and reseting the connection to the TCS switch.. 05 Justa. 78k.. I did just have new tires put on.... ???

I do not really want to take it in if this is a easy fix. My roads up here are full of pot holes and I live on a dirt road witch is pretty ruff. I am simply hoping something is loose.....

Any thoughts.

Thanks.
Bill

All 3 of those lights beaing on would be consistant with a bad wheel speed sensor...they all use the info from the sensor to determine various things based upon the number of tire rotations verses the other tires.

When the battery starts to fail, it does weird things to our cars. How old is your battery?

When the ABS sensor was wet from snow or rain, I had the trifecta of lights on my MCS. It would reset and go out after being parked for a while. Then 100 down the road, lights came on again.

Could have a check to see if there are any codes stored.
