Unhappy 2009 Santa Fe

Help - I'm a new Santa Fe owner and am not familar with this vehicle. On the way to work this morning, the ABS & ESC light stays on and the light that shows all 4 wheels is flashing. What does this mean? I read on earlier posts something about a recall - could this be it?

Any suggestions would be great as I don't want to get "taken to the cleaners" by the repair shop.

It could be the brake light switch. Does your cruise control work? The flashing lights could be a low tire pressure warning. First check the tire pressures and then the TPMS system itself.

Okay - checked the air pressure in the tires and it's at 30, so that's not it. The lights went out for 5 minutes and then they are all back on.

First, tires pressures should be at 33, not 30. So your tires are low. Tires lose 1 psi for every 10-deg drop in temp.

Are you sure the gauge is accurate?

I say go back to the dealer. It's still under warranty.

Update - dealer advises it is the Wheel Speed Sensor and it's under warranty! Whoo hoo, now just need to wait for the part to be ordered in.

Had same problem after changing a wheel bearing! Put too much pressure on anti lock brake sensor. Check your sensors and replace bad one! Lights go away
