Hey guys. So, I got my car back from having the PPE headers installed. It wasn't done 100% how I requested, but I'm pretty close to the finish line. One thing that has happened since getting it back is I have these three warning lights come on that didn't before. I'm wondering if a sensor wasn't reconnected or damaged, or if it may be a fuse. Anyone have this happen? Taking the car back tomorrow to get looked at and was hoping to have something/somewhere to tell the mechanic to check.

I'm trying to remember, but I'm pretty sure there was a '3 light combo' that meant brake fluid was low. But that might be traction, battery and brake actually...nothing in the manual/FSM?

Didn’t see anything in the owner’s manual. I have searched the forum and Google and didn’t see anything that included all three issues simultaneously.

Sounds like maybe the Steering angle sensor, that would affect all three. Could also just be "past" DTC's if they cycled the ignition with something in the steering disconnected. You really need to scan the ABS and see what it tells you.

That makes sense. One issue I forgot to mention is when the backup camera is on the guide lines are off center. When you say scan the ABS, is that done with a basic OBD II scanner?

An ABS-capable one, yes. Most free parts store scans can give you a readout on the tranny and ABS in addition to the engine.

If the backup angles are off, that sounds like the steering angle sensor for sure.

Took the car back to the shop this morning. He reset the system and now no warning lights or codes!
