So I think I posted already that I finally got my new oil cooler hoses installed. This coming just shortly after the whole ABS module replacement.

As is normal, after that module was rebuilt the dash lights where still on until I drove the car about 5 miles then all the lights went off, everything was great for another 20 miles till the oil cooler hose split dumping all my oil and leaving me to have the car towed back to the warehouse. Now fixed the ABS/no Trac light (yellow dash light) were on again. But while the car was sitting waiting for the hoses to arrive the battery died. Charged the battery, fired up the car (which sounds like always) and I head home last night figuring the yellow dash light, ABS and no trac info would go off. About 5 miles from the warehouse the RED light appears along with the other ones.

At this point I turn around and head back to the warehouse driving gingerly but the car runs, idles and sounds fine. The temp gauge never crossed the middle and it was like 98 here so I had the AC on (which I shut off).

So, should I just try a hard reset ? Im wondering if all the oil that got all over everything and was still burning off has anything to do with it. I had the car professionally detailed after the hoses were fixed and asked them to hose off the chassis.

Any thoughts.

John - did either of these events happen to you on Tuesday the 25th around 10 PMish?

I was driving I-10 SB by the Casa Grande Outlet Mall when we were overpowered by a stench akin to burning oil or rubber. It was so bad my wife had trouble breathing. It lasted for about 5 miles along I-10.
