Q: I have a 2002 Buick Century and my "service vehicle soon" light is on along with the "anti lock" light and the "Trac off" light.
I have a 2002 Buick Century and my "service vehicle soon" light is on along with the "anti lock" light and the "Trac off" light. They don't come on as soon as I start the car but as soon as the wheels start moving forward, they all come on at once. I wanted to know if the issue can be somewhat diagnosed based off of my explaination.
My car has 140000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
