Warning Lights

I started my car yesterday, and Traction Control & Service Engine light came on.

Turned car off, lights went away on start up.

Today, same thing ... lights on at startup, then they go away on the next start up.

I've got it in for a new serpentine belt this morning, and I've asked their input on the message lights ... possibly o2 sensor?

Any ideas ... common problem?

Thanks, Scotty ... the car's in the shop, I'm at work and just a little anxious, I guess.

When I get the car back this afternoon, I'll run the codes and see what comes up.

Picked up my car this afternoon.

I wish I could post a pic of the old belt ... it had a strip about 2in. long carved out, just skinned off the top.

The pulleys and tensioner were quiet, and seem fine when turning freely and when under a load.

No codes were pulled when the dealer scanned it, so hopefully all is well with the new belt.

I've never heard my car so quiet ... hope it lasts.

Total bill, including tax, was $80 Cdn ... waived the charge to check codes ... seems fair.

Forgot to add ... the mechanic used a laser to ensure that the belt is seated perfectly.

He mentioned the old belt could've been slightly out of line, thus causing the chirping .... it was sounding like a car with retarded timing.
