hard to say what it might be. if no ABS light snd tac light so probably not the wheel hubs. Have you noticed anything odd with the car? noise?

Check all of your fuses, mine came on when I popped a parking/marker light fuse.

actually I jjust thought it might be when I put the car in reverse so Ill check those fuses tomorrow and OLDSMAN is right autozone and the rest can only check for SES codes.. The scan tool at autozone didnt find anything with the car on accessories and while it was running.. so Ill check the fuses and if that dont work Ill blam it on 8yo rotors and if that dont work Ill take it to the shop and have professionals look at it..

it's not the gas cap, it would be an SES code related to the evap control bs. i just went through that with my car.
