ABS module is probably about to **** it self, oddly the only warning light not illuminated is ABS.

I suspect the abs warning light globe is blown and should be illuminating. seems a lot of ABS modules are crapping themselves lately.

Unplug the abs module and start then car. Only the traction and abs wearing light should come on. Although like it says a above I'd say your abs light is stuffed.

If this works replace the abs module.

So I was thinking about the engine fan thing , could it be the thermo switch any chance?

something black
abs module should only cause the abs, trac off and low trac lights to illuminate, not the check engine, check oil etc..... and it wont bring up the service error.....

get someone with a tech 2 to go over it and scan for any codes etc

@ ashbox yes in fact it will, It happened to me oil light and all, the abs fault tricks the pcm and bcm and sets off other sensors even the fuel gauge reads full on some start ups, change the module and all goes quiet 100%.
