After letting the car warm up a little in the morning, I proceeded to leave my neighborhood and on the first turn AT OIL and AWD warning lights came on, and stayed on for five seconds or so. I pulled over the closest gas station and grabbed the manual. The AT OIL light comes on if the tranny oil is too hot, it said to avoid stop and go traffic or inclines. Next I looked for the AWD light, and that mentioned that the car was thrown into 2WD and it could cause damage if I continue to drive with it illuminated, also it comes on if wheel size is not matching or if tire pressure is off in one of the wheel. Well it was, I usually have 37 psi all around, and the driver side front had 25 psi. I filled up that tire and headed off the dealership so they can check it out.

At the dealership, they could not duplicate the problem, all the fluids were fine, and they could not pull any codes off the car to determine if there was a problem.

Car drives fine but I'm puzzled by what cause the illumination of the warnings. :confused:

Looks like you answered your own question.

If the ATF fluid level/ condition is fine, the tires are all now fine and the lights are gone and unable to be replicated than you might be ok now.

I havent had a flat yet but Im adding a can of fix a flat to the shopping list.

Both lights came back on today for a second, when I was at a light, the rpms dropped to 0 and the car felt like it was dying, I had a 1/4 of Citgo gas in it. I filled up 3/4 of Mobil and now the rpms during idle at a light are above 0 and everything is normal. Could bad gas be the problem? Thanks for the help guys!
