Something wierd

TMR013 · 02-01-2012, 05:12 PM

So came back to my car after a quick stop at the grocery store. Started it up and noticed my clock, my trip odometers and my gas mileage had all been reset (had to manually reenter the time). I also noticed the graphic of a car up on lift in yellow (which according to the OM I should see in conjunction with another warning light, but no other warnings visible). And now when I run the system check, all that happens is the car on a lift graphic appears in yellow.

Car seems to run fine. Any clues?

Car battery going dead or loose battery cables.

Update - It was a dead battery.

AND THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY! WOHOO!!!

Couldn't believe it, first car warranty I've seen that covered normal wear on batteries. Saved me $300
