Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....
Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....
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.mzupon wrote: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.

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.
Re: Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....
This is great information, everyone. Thanks for the quick response. I'll get an appointment set up.
Re: Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....
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.
Re: Warranty Ends, Lights Start Flashing....
Good call everyone. A broken front Wheel Speed Sensor was indeed the issue. Thanks for the signposts!
