Our service engine light came on and also the "change oil", light won't turn off. After, a year of seeing this on (yes, we have our oil changed.) it has become annoying seeing this on all the time. The "ABS" light won't turn off as well. (nothing wrong) we have the mileage reading in kilometers, which we cannot change back. We're having problems with this and had this serviced by our mechanic. Still the problem hasn't vanished from our panel. The thermostat temp. Gauge on the panel wasn't increasing while driving or parked and still running ( on 0 ) and service engine light came on for that .had obd reading on that , it read we had to change our thermostat. Several days later, the temp. Began to work properly again . The "service light" went away. We disconnected battery four times and still having problems. Is there an electrical problem? Same with the window switches, too.
