If you top off the low levels, it will reset by itself.

2011 Landrover freelander 2 . 26k miles. Out of warranty. Warning message "traction reduced transmission problem" appearing on display, also terrain control won't wok. The car drives fine however

Possibly a faulty sensor, check fluid level. Auto part stores can run a diagnostic with their scan tool for free. High mileage can also produce a number of possibilities.

I have a 2003 Chevy 1500hd Silverado and the reduce engine power comes up on dash and I lose all power after I turn off and on a couple of times and it works again whats is the problem and how I fix it....

try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes to reset the complete system. a few different things cause the reduced power to activate, oil pressure, coolant temp, traction control. I use my snap-on MT2500 to locate these types of problems

Why would my 2007 bmw 335i showengine fault warning running on reduced power

Is your oil level or radiator coolant level low? It sounds like the engine is going into "Limp Home" mode to save the engine.

What is the following warning symbol. Yellow triangle in a yellow circle, with squiglly lines in it?

ASR - Acceleration Skid Control system.
When ASR warning light blinking the system is activated itself for car acceleration skid control.


For today's typical high-torque engines, traction control (ASR) can increase both comfort and safety, particularly when driving on slippery roads or surfaces offering differing levels of grip. Traction control permits smooth starting and acceleration through the full speed range without wheel-spin or fishtailing.

ASR only operates in conjunction with the electronic accelerator (E-gas) and uses components of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). If one wheel suddenly begins to rotate faster than the others (slip), ASR intervenes in the engine management system and reduces power until the wheel stops spinning.
The ASR system represents a further contribution to active safety as it maintains vehicle traction and directional stability throughout the acceleration phase at any speed. In addition, it reduces tyre wear. Activation of the ASR system is indicated by a flashing indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.

The ESP system means the Electronic Stability Program. If the ESP lights on the dashboard permanently the ESP system is faulty. You must access the ESP Electronic Control Unit (ECU) memory for pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ESP ECU, in other words reset the ESP system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.

Traction control off, service traction control, service stabilitrak - there messages keeps popping up on my 2008 Acadia...

{: ) Your stabilitrak system may not work properly. The vehicle need to be scanned for trouble codes. In case you get a C0196 code, the recommendation is to reprogram the electronic brake control module. I hope that's the only cause.

Fuse to turn off low coolant light on dashboard

there are no fuses for that. there is a sensor on the coolant tank that senses when you need to add antifreeze. Check for coolant level and add if low if not low you need a new sensor.
