Was in a car wash today, one with the undercar hot water jets, whilst driving over the jet slowly three warning lights came on, DSC, ABS and the Brake warning lights, I know these are not genuine as I have only recently replaced the pads with new all round, I believe that the powerful hot water jets have knocked a sensor out and I am convinced that this is the reason they are on, tried turning the car on and off and the same lights stay on once the car has started, is there anyway of resetting these lights?
Cheers in advance
Actually, not all auto car washes are bad these days. I'm lucky to live near a completely touchless carwash. No brushes, never touches your car at all. It just soaks your car with soapy water, rinses it under high pressure. It does not get the car 100% clean, but it is a great way to get a lot of stuff off. It is usually enough for me; if not, I use it first - then hand wash the remainder - less micro-scratching.

You are talking Greek to me man . No way could/would I ever do that. But hey, some people here are geeks, some are mechanics, some are into detailing. It is my blessing, it is my curse.

Try letting the sensors dry out for a day or two (shouldn't be that hard where your'e located). If it still doesn't reset the lights on thier own, then you probably need to look at the sensor wires.

OK will leave it for a couple of days, also there are no brushes on any of the auto car washes here, all high pressure hosed type so no touching at all.
If you saw how much sand is on my car after two days you would understand why I take her to the autowash every three days or so.
I believe that there is a sensor come off from one of the brakes with the underwash high pressure hoses, will get her up and have a look tomorrow if I get time.
