Just drive the car for awhile until the battery gets charged up again and then turn the car off and on and they should go away. Thats what worked for me.

Reset the power steering sensor.... You have to do it when the battery is disconnected or completely dead

The TCS and DESC lights will flash after having the battery disconnected or completely dead. Turn the steering wheel completely one way, then completely the other, the DSC light will disappear. Drive the car a little bit, turn the engine off, then on again and the TCS light will disappear, completely normal.

How do u reset the steering sensor... I drove my car around seems fine but my air condion light on dash won't show which **** it's on.. not a big deal to me.. the AAA guy hooked his charge up to my battery as if it was a normal battery instead of putting the negative on the bolt for a ground

The reason they suggest hooking the ground to a bolt or grounding point and not the battery is to prevent Hydrogen gas from the battery from igniting from a spark

With new sealed batteries it is less of an issue...but it is still a good idea to ground someplace else

Huh?

You have an air speed gauge?

Or do you mean the speedometer? (which is the speed of the wheels)

Likely Air Temp Does the stereo work? Stock stereo?

If it is aftermarket check the connector on the display to make sure it is plugged in. If it is OEM it could still be loose...but less likely than if someone was pissing with the wiring in there

He said "digital display" though, which I'm not familiar of another digital speed display.


Could be anything at this point I guess
