ABS Break lights ON

[lion2000]

I do have the "Trans Fail Safe Prog" and sometimes "Engine Fail Safe Prog".

After I posted message, for two days, each morning when I first start the car, everything seemed to be normal, only "Engine Service" light on. But after driving 10 - 14 miles, the gauges stop and lights are on, Trans going into fail safe mode which is the 3rd gear (it makes acceleration sluggish, best to drive at 45mi/hr). Other symptoms in fail safe mode: Temperature gauge works momentarily (sits in red most of the time), techometer works momentarily, instrument display goes into dimmer mode and intensity not adjustable.

It makes me think the failing has to do with some timer or temperature. When cold everything is OK.

I will take it in for a diagnostic run next week when my friend has time. Will update the findings.
