a problem w/ the engine. you'll need a code scanner (or a trip to the mechanic) to get the specific error. code scanner should have ability to clear the codes, and then you can just keep driving around and see if they come back.

    I had 4 new tires put on my car, the next day my dashboard lights for ABS, traction control and tire pressure came on. Is this a coincidence or could they have done something while changing tires.
