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

(I was just coming here to start a new topic, but figured I would throw this one to this thread)

Are there any suggestions to this? I have more to add...the abs/dsc lights and guages not working doesn't appear to be a problem of the A/C is on the first bar.

I have the same problem (ABS,DSC) lights on constantly, changed front right/driver side wheel sensor, fault will clear but then come back after a day or two. I then figured out i was blowing fuse number 51(10 amp) for abs, so i have changed it 3-4 times in the past week! any ideas? shorting out? has anyone had this issue? ps; lights still on and speedometer doesnt work

My car is doing the same thing. Did you ever get the correct diagnosis?

I never took it in. Did they replace the steering sensor? If so how much?

Get your ABS modules rebuilt.

It's cold now, so I'm not concerned with the problem and will send it out to get it rebuilt for $300 in the spring. It's been working fine, and running like a champ for a little while with the fall and winter temperatures. It ended up not being a problem with the A/C at all, just with the warmer/hot temperatures. It seems that anything above 70 degrees, after some driving, the light will come on. With the cooler temperatures, the electronics aren't as finicky and function fine.
