Default warning lights

Hello folks...,

Long time no talk....

Just a question...
since 2 or 3 weeks now when i depress rapidly the gas pedal...some warning indicator lights open for no reason...the engine runs perfectly except for the warning lights that open and stays on for just a second and once the engine reach his running temp...i can depress fully and rapidly the gas pedal with no problem and no warning lights??

Any idea?

Thanks
Robert

Robert -

It would help if we knew which warning lights are coming on.

Also if you have a code reader or an autoshop near you that has a code reader and could read any fault codes from the computer that would be the next step to help solve the problem.

Maybe take a video with your phone if you can't remember which light it is... Really need to know that or you are shooting in the dark.

The display has 3 connectors, white black and blue. One of them carries several power supplies to the display. You could try reseating these connectors in case on bad connection
