Means megga bucks by the sounds of it....
Suggest you get a computer read out from a Diagnostics tool. Any decent garage should be able to do that.
I'm no mechanic, but for all those warning lights to come on, I bet you have a dodgy sensor.

Was only joking about the mega bucks.... or at least I hope so.
As for the sensor... Had a weird problem a year or so back on the wife's car, a Corsa. She called me to say, the power steering had packed in, the speedo wasn't working and brakes seemed heavy.
That proved to be an ABS sensor on the wheel. I questioned this with the garage, as her little Corsa doesn't have ABS. But it seems they fit these ABS sensors as they are a good way of feeding speed and slip of the wheel to the cars "brain". In our case, was a way of driving the speedo, the assistance for power steering and brakes.
A Vauxhall dealer dealt with it, and I was surprised how little it cost to resolve. Biggest cost being dealership hourly rate.
Hope it proves to be something like this for you....

Same thing on mine (07 LTX) last year. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Intermittent at times.
Turned out to be loose ABS sensor (rear passenger side).
Reconnected and tapped up (to stop it coming loose again)with electrical tape.
Never seen fault since!

Spooky but ours did it on Saturday. It was my fault because I was buggering about with the cruise control and changing gear manually while it was on. When I got home I restared and the check engine light stayed on. Yesterday morning it went off so I took it for a quick 20min blast and it stayed off.
Maybe I had confused the sensors.

Droplink replacedFront brakes/disks & pads
Rear pads
(All of the above was no surprise as they were advised to me last year!)
Lights went off.....came back on again for 5 min, now off (3 days now). Suspect dodgy connection somewhere - if they do come back on its back for a check.

The mil will illuminate for a whole range of reasons. It will also go out after 4 driving cycles (start, drive stop and lock up x4) if the fault is no longer present. It might be the cruise/ gear change sequence has caused some issue that put the light on.

Ours had same problem a while ago. All the lights from ABS to 4WD. As was mentioned everything depends on the wheel rotation sensor. Once that goes everything is off. Unfortunately it happened to us during a typical Finnish winter and not having 4WD sucks immensely.adama67 said:
We needed several trips back to the dealer because they replaced the sensor but it kept coming back. In the end it was actually the cable that was not working.
