You should have the vehicle's OBD-II trouble codes read. Although the light goes out, there is an intermittent problem and likely there will be codes still in the memory.

Auto parts stores sometimes read the codes for free, or you could buy a code reader. You can also find a trouble code diagnostic listing at http://www.obd-codes.com

Abs warning light keeps coming

When you start any vehicle motor ALL dash
lights should go out & stay out

You know you have check light on,malfunction
indicator lamp,& should know that you have to check
for codes with a day or two & resolve ALL issues within
a few days to a week or stop using any vehicle that has fault codes

You won't likely get a free code reading at parts store with the ABS
You will need professional scan tool software,then go to
Enhanced Mode,then to the ABS Module, for the codes

Then you need a repair shop with a data base or factory manuals at home to work on it (diagnose)

I have Acura 2003 3.2 TL, its Malfunction indicator light is blinking... suddenly stopped on way and when restarted... it started...possible causes?

Blinking check engine lights usually indicate the problem is severe enough that it could be doing damage to the catalytic converter. Typically engine misfires will cause this to happen. Check to see what codes caused the light to come on. Post them here and I'll be happy to help you further

You should check for codes & have the vehicle
diagnosed within days, of any Malfunction Indicator
Lamp coming on,on all vehicles

You have a possible ABS Braking System issue

My tire pressure montioring system light comes on for a minute or two after I turn the igniton, then goes off. What is the deal? The tires look fine. is it an indicator malfunction or do i just need air in...

The indicator seems to be the one at fault. For a cross-check why don't you get your tires filled correctly(air pressure) and observe if the indicator still behaves in the same manner............sodeep

Malfunction indicator lited repeatedly

Probably is the throttle position sensor is bad. If you through several cycles and the computer does not see a problem then it will clear the codes until the problems exists again. That is why you see the light go out. You probably have a problem with the TPS.

Check Engine Light, plus Cruise control indicator Light both on!!

cruise light automatically comes on when there is a malfunction that causes c.e.l to illuminate,this occurs because your accelerator is electronically controled
