TCS and Check Engine light??? Help!

Drove from LA to Vegas yesterday and after starting up this morning these lights appeared. WTF?!

Could the cold weather triggered something? How can I clear these lights to see if it was just a fluke? Isn't there a fuse or two that will clear them?

Please help!

Thanks

Driving will clear them if it was just a fluke. You can use a code scanner to see why they popped up. Tranny problems?

No transmissions problem as far as I know but I know I need a flush and new fluid. The TCS light came off after stopping at the outlets for an hour and getting back on the road.

However, the check engine light remains on. Will have my mechanic check it out when I get back home.

Isn't there a way to clear the light or does a mechanic only have the tools to clear this?

Thanks for your response too!

The light will clear in like 50 miles after a few drive if the problem is no longer there. You can get the light cleared and read with a code reader. Some auto parts places can do that for free depending on the state you live in.
I think I heard you can clear the CEL by pulling the clock fuse on the passenger side fuse box but note that it also resets the ECU.
I'd just get the code read and cleared or let it clear itself in a couple days.

For whatever reason after I came back from Las Vegas, the light went off. Go figure! Well at least its not on now. Maybe my car doesnt like Las Vegas...lol
