Question check engine light + others - HELP !!!

Help please:


Driving at about 70mph on motorway for about 40 minutes - when all of a sudden hill assist and traction control lights come on, got to my destination about 15 minutes drive - turned car off and on again - no lights
Journey home was incident free until 20 minutes in - then I have the following lights come up

Check Engine - on solid
Traction control - on solid
[S] - flashing
Cruise - flashing


Stopping and starting odes NOT clear them

Car drives fine - no different to normal, other than you CAN'T switch between S, SI and S - Sharp
Any pointers greatly received !

Ian

When that happened to my 08 sti it was a broken wire to the neutral position switch on the gear box.
Basically the car is in limp mode,you need to find out what the fault code is, tthere's something you can do on YouTube that involves switching the ignition, lights on and off and pushing the odo reset button to access the cars computer, the fault code will flash up
Hope this helps
