5 warning lights, fans on, temp needle doesn't move...but no errors!

+1 for ABS module

Disconnect your abs module and start the car. You should find that all warning lights are now off. Also, both fans will probably be constantly running if the abs module is kaput, but will stop when you disconnect the module.

Just remove the fuse, that will take care of the abs.

No, the ABS and TRAC OFF lights will remain on.

My bad. That is correct. Because your ecu isn't picking up the module. But the car is now out of limp mode (all lights and fans on).

So what was the verdict from your mechanic BIL OP?

My VX SS did a similar thing today, started the car and heard a chime going and noticed the traction control light on in the dash and the little red security light flashing and the wording Err on the dash display, turned the car off and restarted it and it was fine and gave no more problems during the day, not sure if something just screwed up like computers sometimes do or if it is a sign of things to come, from memory it did something similar maybe 5 years ago.

Sorry it took me over a year to get back to you guys. Life...y'know...lol. So today I FINALLY decided to give the ABS module a go. BINGO! It fixed everything and also fixed my air conditioning at the same time. It took me a year and 4 months and about $40 to do a 20 minute job :doh: Only one problem, I've got no traction control still. That's not a huge issue though. I'm pretty sure I was told about 3 years ago that I have a faulty sensor in my front right hub which caused the traction light to come up. So I'll get on to that...EVENTUALLY :hit:

Thanks for the support guys.

I should mention that I did make sure the car I took the module out of DID have traction control. I checked.
