08 X3 Indicators

Today I rounded a corner and three indicator lamps lit up. The three were yellow brake, 4 wheel and air bag. Does anyone have any ideas? Knave checked all fuses and played with buttons, still nothing.

A low battery can cause random warning lights. You can check battery voltage.

Brake and 4x4 or AWD lights can indicate a wheel speed sensor fault. Best way to diagnose it is to get the codes read, otherwise you are shooting in the dark.

Not sure on the air bag light.

They are indicating a fault. First you have to fix the fault.

That is why it is best to get the codes read, so you are pointed in the right direction.

Get the codes read to determine what is wrong.

My passanger air bag light has been going off randomly, and the srs light off is lit when a full size adult sits in the seat. Dealer has had the car for roughlly 2 weeks and say can't find the fault, and there is no record in the system for it. I pretty sure it has something to do with the pressure mat or sensor. As for your other faults, sounds like a weak electrical system.
