If the lights briefly light up when you start the car it is normal. This way you know the lights work. If the lights are on all the time you need to scan for codes.

mine is doing the same thing although it isn't the normal lights display when starting the car. When driving it suddenly shows on the display one after the other Service traction control, service abs, service " as if a sensor or something went out. It doesn't seem to affect the way the car drives or handles, but I do worry that it's part of a much bigger issue. It recently began "clicking" not just when turning but constantly. In shop now, - it's not CV axles or the joints they say, .... anyone have this problem and resolved it successfully?
