Default mutiple guage panel questions

1. the trac control off light and the brake light are on all the time. they are in the same section of the instrument panel. this is an 00 mc ss.
they both came on at the same time after no incedent. doesnt seem to be causing any issues except i cant turn the TC on and off it seems to be off at all times.

2. it keeps saying time to change oil even tho i did. is there a way to reset that?

3. it saying i have low tire pressure even tho i dont. is there a reset for that or is it an issue of some sort?

As for the "Trac Off" and "Brake" lights being on, check your brake fluid level. I was low on brake fluid, which caused both of those lights to go on.

Your oil change and tire pressure monitors are reset using your radio settings.

If the brake fluid isn't low, you have either 1 of 2 problems. Either a speed sensor is bad in a hub, or PROBABLY you have a bad (dirty) connection from the speed sensor.

Most of the time its a dirty connection though. So dont go buying nothing till you know for sure.
