ABS , VSC & traction control light on & won't turn off.

Just had a bunch of lights come on. What does it mean?

Was driving when I noticed a 4 lights on

Image

Hand brake
ABS
Traction
Traction off (this one was flashing)

Pulled over, turned the car off, turned it on and lights were still on and they turned off about 10 seconds later.

What do the lights or light sequence mean? Nothing seems abnormal with the car and all is fine now (no lights on)

Did you drive through water or lose traction? If it's OK now try looking for stored codes via obd scanner.
Cheers Gipsy :D although I'm sure somebody will challenge that :lol: even Einstein wasn't certain of his theories.

I hit a small roo this morning on the way to work and now my ABS light is on, would this be because of the impact i mean it was pretty small but i was doing 120 hit him square on and heard him thump under the bash plate so no impact to steering. Any thoughts guys?? I also tried to clear it with my scan gauge but no avail

Webb likely the roo has ripped the wiring off somewhere at the rear diff going to the sensors on the axle.
Happened twice on my 07 lux (once a stick and the next a pig) and the stick also broke the handbrake cable also.
If you hit it square very unlikely to be the front axle wiring it’s a lot better protected then the rear axle

Cheers Myralga, i did get under for a quick look but was mainly focusing on where the wires plug into the hubs i must get under this arvo for another squizz at the back end, i'm certain it has to be something like you said otherwise i'm stumped.
