1997 PA Frustrating Issue, bad timing on this

Just today I put our 1997 out for sale as we have replaced it with another. The problem is that after doing maintenance and cleaning her all up nice a pretty ... I go to put it in the garage tonight after her first day out for sale and the "service engine" light" the "ABS" light and the "Traction Control" light stay on....??? What is this all about?
This has never happened before and did not do this when I drove it out so passing traffic can see it for sale. The car runs fine. This is just crazy, we have had it for 3+ years and never seen such a thing and now when we want to move it down the road something like this comes up. Does it not want to leave the family?

Any advice on this is appreciated.... GREATLY!

Thanks,
Bryan

It would be great if I could get some feedback on this problem. Again, the car starts and runs fine like always... it is just once I put her out for sale the above stated lights are staying on.

This is odd...

I believe I figured out the issue here, why the lights are on. Is there away to clear the codes on the computer?

The only way to clear OBDII the CEL is with a scanner. Advanced, AutoZone and some of the others will do this for free. If you scan it, you may find what caused the CEL to come on in the first place. Not sure they can do ABS/TC CEL reset.

Re: 1997 PA Frustrating Issue, bad timing on this

Okay.Everyone here will disagree with me,but if you wantto clear it out,just disconnect the battery for about 20-30 min.
I own a 97' PA and it worked for me.
Good luck.
Oh.HOTZ28 is correct. Autozone and alike cannot check the ABS/TC CEL nor clear it out.
