Phaeton :: 2011 - Array Of Warning Lights Flashing?

I think she is sulking from all the mistreatment

1st the touchscreen decided it didn't want to play ball for a couple of hours refusing to respond at all - the screen would change between functions but refused point blank to operate any of the touch controls - not funny when you have just got off the ferry in France with a 600ml drive to do and not a clue where your going!

Now I have an array of warning lights flashing away at me

All within about a mile 1st up was the particle filter blocked message and light then the engine light in rev counter rapidly followed by engine fault workshop message with second engine light in centre display , then came the the flashing glow plug light accompanied by a drop in power, I presume we are now in some sort of limp home mode!

Car is a UK 2011 3.0tdi GP3 ... I will attempt to get her into a dealer this afternoon and post a follow up on what they find.

Tacoma :: Alarm Went Off / Warning Lights Flashing Even With The Truck Off

A friend of mine is having issues with her 03 Tacoma. Last night her alarm went off so she went down to check it out. Turned the alarm off and re-activated the alarm. About 20 seconds later the alarm went off again. She said she unlocked it, climbed in and started the truck. The warning lights (check engine etc.) are now flashing even with the truck off and no alarm activated.

My best guess is water, at least a little moisture (it rained last night), somehow got into the ECU or some other component of the alarm. Or possible corrosion on a wire or connection. Does that sound like the right direction to go with trouble shooting this issue? I downloaded a manual for the alarm.. I am assuming it's an RS3000.

Passat (B5) :: ABS And Brake Warning Lights Start Flashing Intermittently

Had a small brake fluid leak from my right-rear wheel, so I took it into a local place called Wheel Works. They said the right-rear caliper needed to be replaced, so I told them to go ahead.

Two days after I pick up the car, the ABS light and brake warning lights start flashing intermittently. They'd come on at random times, and then turn back off. After about 2 weeks of this, the warning lights are now on all the time.

I've read elsewhere on these forums that the ABS module on our cars can go bad and might need to be rebuilt. But is it possible that the mechanic caused this problem when he was working on the brakes to replace my caliper? Could it be something more minor than the ABS module? I now have reason to believe this mechanic is shady, so I'm hesitant to bring it back there.

Subaru - Outback :: 2012 - Cruise Started Flashing And Warning Lights Came On

Two weeks ago I bought a new 2012 Outback. While driving in the manual auto mode, the cruise started flashing, the check engine came on, the traction control light came on and the brake light was on. The dealer said it was because I did not tighten the gas cap, letting air in. They reset it but a few days later it came back on again and this time they said it was miss fire code. Since they couldn't figure out the issue, they did the right thing and traded it in for another, identical 2012 Outback. Now, 8 days later, all the same lights have come on.

Prius (2004-09) :: Warning Lights Flashing Indicating Hybrid Drive Failure

I just wanted to share my story here. Last week on a routine trip on I-5 warning lights started flashing indicating hybrid drive failure. The car automatically shifted into neutral and I was limping along down hill. Luckily I saw a downhill exit and had the foresight to turn off where to my horror I discovered that my brakes didn't work. So I had to coast to the bottom of the hill and again made a quick decision to turn into a slight uphill side street to force myself to a stop with the parking brake. At point the car completely died and I couldn't even shift into neutral to push it.

After towing it to AAA and avoiding a collision on I-5 (if I pulled into the shoulder without breaks I likely would have crashed into a retaining wall) and then not being smacked after I got it to a stop I was pretty shaken...I'm lucky to be alive.

Toyota - Camry :: Intermittent Electrical Power / Flashing Dashboard Light And Warning Lights Turning On

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry with electrical problems that started showing up recently. One day the check battery light turned on and about 15 minutes later the AC would lose power intermittently. After parking the vehicle that day I tried to start up and only heard a rapid clicking sound. I exchanged the battery since it was still under warranty and everything seemed to work fine for one whole day. The next day the battery light turned on again, followed by the ABS warning light, and then the airbag warning light. Within about 5 minutes the dashboard back light started flickering and other warning lights started lighting up randomly. Within a minute of that the car shutoff and would not start back up again.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2013 - Install Flashing LED Lights To Work In Conjunction With Hazard Lights?

I have a 2013 6.7l super duty Lariat. I want to install flashing LED lights to work in conjunction with the hazard lights. The leds have their own controller and will be separate from any other lights/wiring. What I need is some way to trigger a relay to turn on the led's. Was hoping to tap into the hot lead off the hazard switch itself but that's not an option!

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2009 - Master Warning Flashing On Startup

Details: 2009 Prius with Nav, no touring, cold battery voltage reading (via display) is 12.1v and 14.2v running

I'm noticing something odd and I figured I'd ask and see if this is normal or something else. Sometimes on startup I see the red triangle then it goes away and sometimes it doesn't show up at all. I've had a few occasions where the car doesn't start. I usually shut the lights off and then it's OK.

Prius (2004-09) :: SRS Warning Light With Air Bag Off And Low Gas Indicator Flashing

Parked the car, when wife got back in, got the big exclamation point, SRS warning light, brake off light, airbag off light and most weird the single gas bar flashing when, in fact, I had about 3/4 of a tank. The first part of the problem was that when my keys are in the same pocket as my cell phone, there is interference, so I took the keys out, but the same alarms came on. After playing around with it for a while, including locking and unlocking doors with the remote, it finally started, everything normal, including showing gas just fine. I am original owner, so no accidents. I had just put a heavy object in the trunk, maybe it twisted some wiring? I took it out when I got home.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 4wd Warning Light Started Flashing

Looking for some info about the 4wd system.

My car is a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5 and several times i've seen the 4wd warning light start flashing. It happens right when i start up the engine, however if I turn the engine off and on again, the light will be off the next time it starts up.

I'm just trying to figure out what kind of problems this warning light would indicate, in case it stays on sometime. I like to plan ahead my car repairs and know what's going on with it. The car has like 190K + miles so it's getting there.

Also I try to avoid the dealer, so I was also wondering if a typical scan tool that most mechanics have could read the codes, or if would need to be done by Hyundai specifically.

Porsche - 944 :: 1987 - Won't Stay Running?

My car sometimes runs like a dream and then abruptly will lose power, act like it's not getting fuel, not respond to the accelerator and sputter and buck. My mechanic has rebuilt the fuel pump, cleaned fuel filter, cleaned out tank, replaced hoses. He's familiar with Porsche engines and I know he's not blowing smoke up my nose, so to speak. He's tried everything he can think of. I never know when it's going to act up. It will run smoothly, I will drive it hard, drive it slow and easy, corner hard, not hard, and it sometimes stays happy, sometimes decides it doesn't want to run. It improves when clutch is pushed in, acts like it wants to respond, then after I let the clutch out and apply gas, it starts to buck and there's no power. Haven't been able to get it out of first when it does that.

Prius (2004-09) :: AC Stops Blowing Cool Air / Dash Lights Up With Numerous Warning Lights

I had just picked my kid up from school, as I turn out of the parking lot my A/C stops blowing cool air, I check the A/C screen and it still says it's set on High with temp at 68. However, it is blowing very low with warm air. Seconds later the dash lights up with numerous warning lights. I'm on the highway and I'm able to gather speed, but each time I do I hear the engine revving like crazy. We only live a few miles from the school so I am able to make it home. Once home, I turn off the car and turn it back on. The only warning lights displayed now are the red triangle and the yellow check engine light. I turn the car off, pop the hood, I check the belt and it was fine. I checked the oil and it seemed fine. I check the coolant overflow and it was empty.
