Default Warning Lights Staying on

Hi Guys, just recently i've had an annoying thing happen to me a couple of times, just after pulling of quickly my yellow warning lights come on and stay (tyre pressure indicator, ABS and i cant remember the other but its yellow) 2 on the speedo and one on the rev counter. they stay on but go off if i turn off ignition and start again.
Has this happened to anyone before? its annoying.

Sounds like the traction control light. Can you take a pic and post on here?

If it is your ACS light (traction control) it's warning that there is a problem with the car. (Not necessarily ACS related) Do you have a scangauge, or could you borrow one to check for error codes?

I know a few that have had this issue cured it be replacing the Map sensor. This is very easy to change yourself. Map sensors can be ordered from your local dealer.

Hope this helps...

the wierd thing is though that its all three yellow lights, i think ABS, tyre pressure and traction, all three of them stay lit. they come on into a journey too, not at the beginning. its very odd
