SES/TCS/SLIP All the Lights On at the same time, please help!.

Within the past couple of months my car had power trouble it was hard to go over 80 mph, i was advised that it was MAF sensor, i ordered the sensor and now the car has no trouble at all, but the SES light stays on. Also for these past couple of days the "SLIP" and "TCS" lights turn on. The light just turn on out of nowhere. But i turn the car off for about 10-15 minutes the slip and tcs lights go off but the SES light stays on, whats happening, what can i do to reset this thing. I tried disconnecting the negative charge from the battery for about two hours(i read that doing so will reset it) since i change the MAF sensor yesterday, the SES light turned off for that night and this morning it was on again. PLEASE HELP !!!

all three of mine came on about two weeks ago. i whipped the wheel pretty hard and floored it into a parking lot. i was really low on fuel so i dont know if that contributed to all the lights coming on. all i did was undo the negative battery cable and depressed the brake for about 2 min. left it off over night and they havent come back on so far.

if it keeps coming on for you, i would just take it to autozone and get the code pulled for free. thats where i am going if and once the SES light comes back on.

That combination of lights---SES,TCS,Slip---is often seen when the ignition coils begin to go. Have you replaced your coils yet? See what codes Autozone comes up with.

BTW, if you disconnect the neg battery, then pump the brakes 8 times, then wait 15 min before reconnecting the battery, you should clear the SES light.
