Hallo from a newbie in Sweden. Thanks for the welcom.
My question: I have a problem with the "LOW TRACK" sign. When I park the car it lights up for about 5 to 10 sec when I turn ter steeringweel from left to rigth and even forwards and backwards. Some times it even lighrs up on a very "bumping" way for a few seconds.
It´s not a worldproblem but it irritates me. Anyone who have any suggestions what to do about it or had the same problem?
I hope you forgiv my bad english, it´s only "schoolenglish"

Thanks in advance from "the swede"

It just means that your traction is low for those few seconds. In winter if you try to take off quickly on a snowy road you could have the light come on as well. It's nothing to worry about.

Yeah it's really nothing to worry about, just low traction at that time

You have a broken hub.

Sure sounds like a bad hub to me, too.

This happened once to me on the way to work last week, but was fine on the way home that day and no lights since then. Is this the only possible explanation for all 3 lights coming on, or did my car's computer have a little hiccup?

I'd guess it could be the beginning of the hub going bad. Just watch it and if it starts to happen more often, probably the hub.

nit doesn't mean the bearings are bad or going bad, it prolly means the sensor is starting to give out... if you don't wanna replace the hub or know that the bearings are still good and don't care about the traction control, just put a piece of black electrical tape over the lights or something so they aren't shinin like annoying little beacons.... however... remember that if the sensor does burn up all the way it will turn your traction control and your anti-lock brakes off... and sometimes those come in handy... that's how i got in my accident... i woulda been able to avoid it had i have ABS...
