TC Light and Turn signals not shutting off this morning

jaco · 01-08-2011, 12:49 PM

All,

I was leaving the gf's place this morning when my car had the brake light pop up on the dash in yellow and the traction control light came on. I also received a message on the dash with the same traction control light with an exclamation mark. I could not use the DTC button to burn these off like how you would normally do after holding the button for 3 seconds.

After this happened I had no traction control, which isnt a big deal just annoying, but when i used a turn signal it would not turn off after turning.

Any ideas? The car goes in Monday for the software recall so I will bring it up then.

Thanks for any help.

Had this off and on but it always reset when I turned the car off or seemed to...

It happened to me this morning and didn't turn off...

Yellow BRAKE light, Yellow Traction Control Light, Turn signals don't turn off...

Do you know what the issue was?

Steering Angle sensor failure.

I have an appointment tomorrow and the car is CPO so shouldn't be an issue.

I have had the indicators come on ocassionally off and on but they have always cleared and of course the dealer said they can't do anything until it becomes a constant fault.

Saw some other threads after searching more about the steering angle sensor so thanks for the reply as well.

Hopefully not too much of an issue...
