Hi Carlos! Have you had the car scanned for codes?

No not yet I was going to do it later today
Automotive Expert
Whenever you see these lights on, it means that the system has detected a fault and that a code(s) has been stored. Without knowing the exact code(s), I cannot say with 100% certainty why the computer has turned the light on.

best bet is to go to somewhere they can check itAlright sir thank you
Automotive Expert
Yes! If you find out what the codes are, I can tell you what the issue is. Without knowing the codes, it could be 100+ different things.
