Three lights on after brake pad change ?

We changed our brake pads in the front and brake seems to work fine but three lights came on engine light, traction control, and VSC. Im eventually going to take it to the shop but need to drive them tommorow for at least 6 hours staright. Should I be concerned ? Car is RX300 btw.Three lights on after brake pad change ?If it drives okay you don't need to be concerned, but you won't have anti-lock (only normal braking) and the stability control won't work. You have some sort of sensor problem on one of the front wheels - there is an ABS sensor on each.



Because the engine light is on, you won't know if any other engine/emission related problems pop up. That is no big risk, but just don't play the game too long. A week is no big deal, a year is a bigger deal.Three lights on after brake pad change ?It sounds like they unplugged the wheel speed sensor and forgot to plug it back in, or damaged it during the job. If that's the case, your car is still perfectly safe to drive, just get it checked out soon.Three lights on after brake pad change ?A few friends of mine had the same problem but I'm not sure if it would work for you as well, check to see if the hose behind my air filter was disconnected. (After checking it disconnect the battery for 10mins and reconnect) Most said the Lights go away after that... Worth a shot?Three lights on after brake pad change ?Worst case scenario is that you don't have ABS. Big whoop. ABS isn't really needed if you drive safely anyways.





Still safe to drive, don't worry about it.
