VSA/ABS/Brake Light on after detail

So I just picked up my car from a local car wash. I had them do a interior detail. Basically got in the car and started it and the ABS/VSA/Brake lights are on. Any ideas or suggestions?

Make sure the handbrake isn't pulled up either.

for starters, see if you could get to an autozone or pepboys and have them read the codes.
You will need a scan tool that can read ABS codes btw.


get that done and post what codes appear.


in the meantime, check your brake fluid level as that could trigger the brake light.
As for the ABS and VSA lights, it could be a wheel sensor, wheel bearing, loose plug, but the codes will help trace it.

I don't mean to sound rude but the first two comments are useless. The ABS light should never be on, the VSA light is different than the VSA triangle !, and I'm sure he checked the handbrake already. I'd get the codes read and post them here.

Those lights can be triggered by low battery voltage when starting the car.


They were doing an interior detail so that means doors open and lights on which will run down the battery if they didn't put a charger on it.


try driving for a little while to make sure the batt is good and charged then turn the car off and on again and see if the lights are still there.
