It sounds like that might be a short in the wiring somewhere, I'm not an expert on cars and trucks, but being a computer geek, usually when something pops on randomly and or stays on unexpectedly, it tends to be a short in wiring somewhere, however I would recommend getting a second or even a third opinion on this.

SOURCE: air bag light

if the air bag stays on that means you have a problem with the air bag system, and you need to have it diagnose, but if you just bought the sedona from a used car dealer they have to fix it, it is part of the safety inspection requred by law

The problem is the car think the park brake is on (intermittently). I would check the park brake switch, perhaps it's loose, or perhaps the park brake is pushed down to the first "click" spot. Also check the wiring connection to the switch, and the wiring nearby. Good luck!

SOURCE: ABS Light and Parking brake light on

sounds like your vehicle speed sensor is going out. it's the modern equivilent of a speedometer cable. it tells the computer how fast your going which the computer uses to determine shift points, abs function, and speedometer readings. they usually act up a bit before they go out. it confuses the computer. normally located in the extension housing at the rear of the transmission where the spedometer cable would be on an older vehicle

SOURCE: honda civic ex 2001 parking brake light stays on then goes off

Replace rear brake pads. If that doesn't help, remove the plastic console around the parking brake lever and adjust the pull on the lever. It's probably so loose that it's trigger the light.

This is not normal, looks like someone accidentally drove several miles with the brake on.

2013 Bentley Mulsanne - fault light comes on then the windshield wipers come on, alarm goes off when parked, AC blows but not cool air. All this happens at once.

You need a good mobile auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the anti theft system and the Body Control Module functions. The fault light will also give a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). Please don't swap out items like batteries on a guess, diagnose and then replace.

I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 brake lights staying on. Brake lights will only come on when in gear. Brake lights will not come on while in park. Brake lights just stay on going down the road

The brake light is for = handbrake and master cylinder oil level.( There is a float inside the master reservoir and oil level low will change from park to a moving car.)
Check oil brake level.
Check handbrake fully release or switch

Hope it Helps.

My 2004 Silverado ABS, parking brake light come on. 4x4 will not engage, fan blower will not blow, and cruise control will not work for a few days. Then it all goes away only to come back again....have had...

If the parking brake light comes on, it would indicate to me that the switch on the parking brake peddle may need adjustment. This would also deactivate the 4x4, you would not want to drive around with the brake on. Not sure about the fan blower and cruise but all are in dash and the dash does have a common ground behind the lower left kick panel. A loose ground connection can cause much havoc.

the traction control system works off of the abs system so there is a code in the abs module that needs to be pulled so you know were to start to check the system out.the service engine light is a different system all together and there is a code in the ecm that must be pulled so you know were to start to check to repair that system.you don`t say why you jumped to the conclusion that the gas cap set a code.the emergency brake light will come on if the e-brake is not all the way in the off position(something may be holding the lever up just enough to put the light on.the switch could be misadjusted and needs to e readjusted.

2005 chevy silverado 1500, service 4 wheel drive, gears

Sounds like a bent fork in the transfer case. It is a common problem with your truck. The transfer case is a np236. If it just recently started doing this, the rebuild will cost around $800. If the 4wd has been acting up for a while, the planetary will probably need changed, which is another $200.
