Do you guys know what these light together means? I have this displayed on occasion on my master caution panel. It started happening yesterday. I tried restarting the car when it came on and it went away. But today they popped back up. Thanks!

Steering angle sensor failure + stability control failure + brake hold failure. Fix requires installation of new steering angle sensor in the steering wheel.

Hmm... Sounds like you've got yourself a ticket to the "Engine Malfunction! Reduced power."

Yes, agree with Roleez, most likely is the szl sensor failure. If that is the fault, you will need to replace the sensor and reprogramme the module. You can probably request for the latest software upgrade as well.

The lights have since went away and have not been back for three days now. I have an appointment on Friday and hopefully they can fix it even if everything seems normal now. Will keep you updated.

Update...I bring my car to the dealer to fix this yesterday. They returned the car telling me they cleared all the faults. I was a bit weary taking the car back since all they did was clear faults. And today, sure enough, the same problem came up! It seems the dealer took a shortcut. I'll have to bring it back. I took this picture with my phone and printed it out before going to the dealer in case they could not reproduce, but they said they could pull all the faults up on the computer.

It sure DOES sound like they took a shortcut...didn't do anything but clear codes, assuming they meant nothing? Weak! :thumbsdown:

Was your warning like these? Mine is an xi so the AWD popped up too. If it was it's the steering angle sensor. BTW, using your cell phone to snap pictures of alerts - is especially handy if they go away after some driving. A picture is worth a 1000 words!
