brake light, backup light, tail light message Any Help Please
Has anyone gotten this message. After driving 5 or ten minutes I get an error message for each side. Says Tail light out, Brake light out, Backup light on. However, All lights are working properly and there is no backup light on. Any ideas. Figure it is a sensor.
Was just serviced and they did not find anything. (Imagine that) As soon as you turn the car off it resets. Alternator is charging appropriately. Consumer battery is new 6 months ago.
Thanks for the help. Searched and searched and could not find anything.

I think i've read in the manual or somewhere that the car has a row of backup brake light's, so I would check if the main brake lights are working.
I think it's a safety precaution.
I think it's explained in the manual how you change the lights.
Hope that helps.

I've just checked the manual and it says: (for the left side).
Brake light, L (left)
Substitute lamp on!
(reservelight on)
Brakelight on the left side is defective. This information is showing up only if all the diodes is defective.
Another diode is taking over the job.
You will then have to replace the diode's as soon as possible.
So you will have to change the brake light diode's that is broken, hope it's not too expensive
