Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....

[mzupon]

Well Jack had her third birthday on St. Patrick's Day, which was happy, but sad because now I get to pay for everything myself. Which means, of course, that it was time for something to go wrong. Occassionally, I am getting three warning lights which are staying on about a third of the time. The low tire pressure light, which seems to be incorrect, as all four tires are at 32psi is semi-independent. The ABS and DSC lights appear to be synchronized, however. Has anyone seen this before so I can get a read on what might be wrong and not spend $500 on investigation?

The ABS/DSC/Tire Monitoring System gets all of their information from the Wheel Speed Sensor and since you have all three lights you have a bad wheel speed sensor.

I have a newer style code reader if you want to see if it's storing a code.......if it's only her third birthday, you're still in warranty aren't you?

4 yrs /50K on the warranty is what I understood, just 3 yrs/36K on the maintenance.........

I have confirmed with Chad and Chris at Detroit Tuned that it is the Wheel Speed Sensor.

This is great information, everyone. Thanks for the quick response. I'll get an appointment set up.

I got this done last year on my 03, had the same problems with the lights and it was the wheel speed sensor, I waited around at KC auto sport for a few hours and they got it done, around 250 bucks. mostly labor.

Good call everyone. A broken front Wheel Speed Sensor was indeed the issue. Thanks for the signposts!

Good to hear you got it all fixed and everything is back to normal
