SOURCE: ABS Light and Check Engine Light on, Cruise light flashing

I had this occur on my 2007 Subaru Tribeca. ABS, Traction Control, Check Engine lights were solid, Cruise Control light was blinking and "Er SS" (commonly misread as Er 55) displayed on Trip Odometer. All lights were cleared after 10 or so miles. It appears this is a Speed Sensor (SS) reading error whereby the computer notices an irregularity with the readings taken from the four wheels. Most often it is a temporary and harmless glitch and sometimes a result of debris that is impeding the sensor's reading at one of the wheels.

SOURCE: what is the AT OIL TEMP light? and if it is

That indicates an Automatic Transmission Oil Temperature problem. Your transmission is overheating. Check the oil level in the transmission, also when was the last time you had the transmission oil changed? This could be occuring because of an excessive load on the trans(pulling a trailer) etc. Generally if it is flashing it means stop now. Could be as benign as a failed sensor, but definitely needs to be checked out.

There is something wrong with your transmission (and most likely your ABS and TCS). You'll need to have the trouble codes read and diagnosed.

SOURCE: what does it mean when the oil temp light comes on in subaru baja

It means that your oil temperature is too high. Have you changed your oil recently?

The brake light and ABS light comes on at the same time. What could the trouble be please?

Hello Pamela

All questions in this category need 'year make model'. This is what Lexus say! You need to get the vehicle on a scan tool to diagnose the fault.

If both the ABS and the brake system light come on at the same time, your vehicle is no longer safe to drive. This means there is a serious problem with the car's braking system and continuing to drive puts yourself and others at risk.

ABS + ESP lights staying on dashboard

wow no year car, now that is a challenge , no?
abs is first.
first- first are brakes.
abs stuck on key on and running full time right?
so check brakes for damage or worn out.
brake fluid level not falling? look yet? look when checking oil every time.
abs can not work on cars with bad brakes, (its not god like)
then check for ABS sensor damage and its wires. under car.
then scan the ABS. got errors, sure you do.
but what? you didnt scan it first.
or read the manual> RTM?
its only 4 bucks to read it.

I have a warning light on on the dashboard no manuel so I don't know what it is..... Can you show me the symbols??

okay let me tell you and i will try to show you them. first is the check engine light which is a yelloe symbol of a small engine, this means theres a problem with the engine operation or emmisions system. this you can go to an auto parts store and they will scan the cars computer for codes and give you a print out. i can help you further with the codes, next is the anti braking system which doesnt allow the wheels to skid in heavy braking or snow and ice, this symbol will say ABS.nextis the red brake light which will say BRAKE in red and will sometimes come on with the yellow ABS light this light if on alone means you are low on brake fluid, which means a leak or low brakes and you need to have the brake system checked asap, the rest of the light are low coolant, trac, which is in the ****** and controls the traction control, this light will come on if this cars has it when the abs or engine light is on because the computer shuts it done when theres a problem.hope this helps.heres a good site that will show you all lights and what they mean there are alot depending on the car. hope this is helpful.http://www.autoevolution.com/news/how-to-read-the-dashboard-lights-1370.html

I have a 1997 chrysler van and the light on dashboard lite up ABS what does this mean?

The vehicle computer has detected a fault in the Anti-lock Brake System. Your brake system will still work safely and efficiently, but the vehicle will be more likely to enter a dangerous skid if you apply the brakes on wet or icy pavement, or on a dirt or gravel surface. The actual problem with the ABS system will need to be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic. ABS repairs can be expensive, depending on the specific problem, but this safety system is definitely one that you should keep in working order. Also, in several states you will not pass the vehicle safety inspection with the ABS light on.

Hope this answers your question.

ABS light in dashboard lights on what is the meaning of this ?provided that brake oil level is normal

Take it to a local auto store where they can plug your vehicle into a scan tool that reads codes. Most places can do this for free. This will pinpoint the problem and they can tell you how to solve the issue.
