Idiot lights

I did a quick search, but didn't see anything so here goes...

I have a '95 RRC. There are three idiot lights (or whatever you want to call them) on. The anti-lock, traction control, and one I don't know that name of (it's a circle with a line over the top in the center of the dash). I've tested it and the anti-lock doesn't seem to be working, so I assume neither is the traction control or whatever is connected to the other light.

All three lights came on at the same time. Any ideas what would have caused them to come on? And/or how to fix them?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Mike

The ANTI-LOCK and TC you can diagnose from here: http://www.spanishtrailrovers.com/Tech/Maintain/Diagnosing_ABS/diagnosing_abs.html

Usually it can be cured by resetting the air gap in the front sensors. Also loose wheel bearings can cause this.

The 3rd light is your air suspension light...You'll need access to a dealer testbook for that one. Ive removed mine a lomg time ago so someone else here may know how to diagnose that.

OK, thanks for the link and the tips. I'll read through it see what I can come up with.

As for the airbag. Mine was replaced with Bilsteins before I bought it also. But I recently refitted it with OME shocks and XHD springs. So maybe something didn't get nulled out properly on this last refit. But no worries, I can ignore this light as long as I know everything else will work (once I diagnose it of course).

Maybe the new suspension, plus new larger-than-stock tires are causing the anti-lock and tc lights to be on also.....

oh so you already converted to springs.... Then there is need diagnosis needed for the air suspension light. There should be a relay under the pass seat, just pull it out and the light will go out. You will also have to disconnect the air suspension ECU which is also under the pass seat.
