Lights still on

My brake and ABS lights are yellow. I did notice the red lights went off. I did not know about the steering wheel sensor. Did you have yours replaced? I still have the darn "Self Leveling suspension light" on. I did have to have my vehicle jumped about a month ago. I thought maybe that caused the problems. THis is very frustrating. 78K miles, I know have clunking in the front. From theis forumn, it might be stabilizer sway bar links or Control Arms. What next.

here another trick that i to do all the time to turn off those lights, open all the doors and trunk then closed it one by then start the car again all the lights turn off. And for the clunking noise that is bad stabilizer sway bar links.( for the sway bar links noise usesurely make noise when the car go over the bump or slightly turn left or right)

I got the same thing before, I found the battery wasn't taking a charge anymore and was degrading. seems like the low voltage causes those porblems. After replacement it all went away. When was the last battery replaced? After I replaced my it was there but after driving around it goes away. Good luck.

I had the same thing ... it's the ABS sensor (wheel rotation sensor). If you have a code reader it will tell you which one it is (mine was in the back). There is a way to test it but I can't remember which is which ... I believe the rear left one will work with the "cruise control" (but check around if it's left or right). If that's not working, there's your problem. If it is working than it is one of the other wheel sensor.
As far as I know, yellow brake light + ABS light means wheel (ABS) sensor. Red brake light means change brake pads.

Problem with all three yellow lights(brake, abs and antispin-I think) lights that is- do I have to go to the dealer to sort out which ABS wheel sensor to change?

After replacing battery on my 2002 tonight I got the CEL, Brake and ABS lights. This worked for me.

I am now getting this problem, but ONLY WITH THE A/C ON.

As posted above, is this a "low charging"/battery problem? It literally ONLY happens on decent drives with A/C ON. It has never happened, and still does not happen if the A/C is off. I have the original battery but have never had a problem with cold starts, or starting the car after sitting up to a week. However, now that I think about it, the A/C blower seems to fade in and out at anything over half power.

Thanks,
Steve

Are you taking about the brake pad sensors I just replaced. I am not sure what the ABS wheel sensors are?

I am not familiar with the wheel sensors. Where are they located? Are they easy to change out?
