my dash flashing "sys"
This morning when I started my car the area of my gauges where you see the fuel mileage info kept flashing "SYS" about every 30 seconds. Does anyone know what this means?

In most cases it means a weak battery, it can also come on if you've done anything with the stereo. Usually anything related to an electric problem can make the SYS come on. I would check the battery first.

Thanks everyone. The day before this happened I got my car washed, and it was really hard to start pulling out of the car wash. Drove home just fine. It was the next morning that it started easily, then I got the sys light. I'll check my battery tonight. Thanks again.
