    Exclamation I was driving on the highway and suddenly these light came on the same time

    I was driving in on the highway with some snowy and icy conditions today and suddenly my ABS, Auto start-stop, traction control and traction control OFF lights came on also after a restart

    I tried scanning the ECU with my OBD scanner but no codes or faults came up

    Does somebody know what the cause of this can be

    EDIT: This is my moms 2014 Space Star (Intense I think) 1.2 CVT with auto start-stop and keyless go

    Someone posted about some recall for european cars. I can't find it on the first 2 pages during a search so maybe someone with more patience will post it. I've never dealt with a car with autostart/stop but you're gonna have to start by finding out what codes are stored. Likely an abs code, or maybe the brake switch is hooped? Supposedly they make lights come on for no reason.

    Edit:
    I see you tried scanning already. Cheapo junk obd readers are usually pretty useless for anything other than an engine light, so you'll either have to buy a decent scanner or just take it to a competent shop that already has one.

    Thanks for your reply. I saw the recall post it also came up when I looked up my license plate on RDW. I'm going to call the dealer about that issue.

    I think i'll need to bring it my mechanic for a proper scan

    This is what RDW says about the recall (for the dutch viewers)

    Have you changed your bulbs to LEDs or have a hyper-flash going on?

    Yes, I did replace the rear light bulbs with a new pair of LEDs today because one wasn't working anymore, but those were also LEDs. Could be that new LEDs cause some issues?
    The turn signals are also LEDs with resistors but I changed those a long time ago from the normal bulbs

    I bet if you change them back to regular bulbs, the lights on your dash will self-correct. (I am saying this because I have experienced this phenomenon with people's cars before.) Let me know if this works.

    You're welcome! I almost bet your local dealership wouldn't either. This forum is a great resource.
