    Intermittent - Beep and 4 Warning Lights Come On

    2005 SMG 'vert. My car had been sitting for some time and I started driving it again as I need to have some work done on the transmission for my daily driver. Intermittently, I'll be driving and, after a mile or so, there will be a beep and the following lights will turn on and be orange: Traction Control, E-Brake, Tire Pressure, and SMG cog.

    These lights are not normally illuminated and, in the case of the e-brake light, it typically turns red when the e-brake is engaged, not orange.

    Has anyone else had a similar issue and, if so, what was the cause?

    I have a few ideas to try on the cheap..
    Check the battery. Low voltage wreaks havoc on the system.
    Check the the tire pressures and then reset the TPMS button (above the shifter).
    Could also be a wheel sensor. Sometimes rust gets in there and sets it off.
    Do you have INPA? Check for errors and report back.

      Read codes but I'd suspect wheel speed sensor also.

        Traction Control, E-Brake, Tire Pressure all point to your driver side rear speed sensor. The driver side rear speed sensor inputs into your speedometer as well. Is your speedometer fluctuating or erratic? If yes, most likely just dirty as they rarely fail. Pull the wheel and clean it.
