Errors / Malfunctions

Hello...

tonight, on the way home.. all of a sudden, three errors popped up on the dash.

Brake Assist
Electronic Precision Steering
ABS Error

Three malfunction at once, and the famous line: Visit Workshop.

I just got an oil change, and i hit a bump yesterday.. but nothing happened.
I was coming out of a parking lot, and didn't realize that I cut the corner too much, causing it to drop off the curb. But no errors showed yesterday.

Do you think these errors are the cause of yesterday's bump?

Thanks ...

Your errors are most likely caused by a bad STOP LAMP SWICTH. You can buy one at the dealer for about $20.00. Very easy to replace maybe about 10 minutes. They just go bad, if you don't replace it it will only get worse and happen more often.

With your car off, turn your car on. A few seconds later step on the brakes. If the warning lights come when you step on the brakes it's most likely the stop/brake switch like mentioned above. To confirm this, check to see if your brake lights are lighting up. If they're not it's definitely your brake switch. If this is the case be careful on the road because nobody will know that you're slowing down or stopping.

The stop lamp switch or in this case sounded like when you hit the bump/drop off the curb and cause the angle reading of the wheels to be wrong that tricked that messages. To set it, start your engine, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left (until you can't turn it any more) then turn it all the way to the right.

thank you so much for all of the advice. It seems that the errors have disappeared.

I will keep you posted in case it occurs again. It definitely saves a couple bucks from going to the shop... pheww what a relief.

NOw, i can buy that star grille and flat hood emblem, as opposed to paying diagnostic fee

THanks all

So it really just a bump of the curve that cause the problem. I get this too after lowered people car due to the toe in/out of the front two wheel is not withing spec./out of alignment An alignment solved the problem.
