Fill the washer fluid, if the light goes out, we know the problem is probably not with the instrument cluster or BCM.


Low brake fluid will cause the ABS/Traction control light to come on, as will a bad hub or bad wiring between the hub and BCM.


Try the change oil reset procedure again, sometimes mine takes a couple tries to reset it.

Search this forum for "passlock". The security light problem is very common.

if u do what iflow said an u still have problems cause im certain that what he said will fix it. but the cheap way to shut them of is disconnect the battery for a few minutes then hook back up if u have presets those will be reset but should fix your problem.
