Hi everyone. Sorry I'm being a bit lazy. I'll scan for codes tomorrow and post them if it will help, but the Hybrid had a series of lights come on last week, with some symptoms, and I hope it is common enough to fix myself, now that I'm 4K miles past the warranty! Not only do the abs and traction control lights on the dash stay lit, but the motor no longer turns off at stops, the "assist" battery is not charged when I slow, and the little green eco light doesn't light even if I'm coasting downhill. Since everything happened at once, I'm hoping it is one item at fault, instead of some catastrophic failure! The check enging light motor icon is lit too, so I know scanning for codes is where I'll start. Any other suggestions???

Unfortunately and unless I'm mistaken, only the SES/check engine light will be read by generic reader/scanners like the ones at Autozone. Only Saturn and separate readers will be able to read the ABS/TC error codes. Brake repair shops specializing in ABS/TC troubleshooting and repair may have the separate readers capable of decoding the error light.

Usually the ABS/TC indicator is pointing to the wheel speed sensor or wiring to each of the outboard components located on the wheel hubs. A physical check may reveal a broken wire, sensor or 'toothed' wheel.
