Help !! Warning lights...
On the way home the Service ASR and Service ABS lights came on. I got home, shut the car down, waited for a couple minutes and restarted it. The lights didnt come back on. What should I be looking for? I remember a post similar to this but I cannot remember what the advice was... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..

Those lights came on because one or more sensors reported a failure of some kind and the computer stores these error codes. You can recover the stored error codes and they point to were to start looking.

Check the fluid level in the master cylinder. I had that happen at an autocross last year, so I checked the master and it needed about 3 oz of fluid. Topped the master off and no more lites.
The expensive fix can be a faulty electronic brake control module. Pull the codes and post them (if any).

Mine did that once after going over a series of unavoidable bumps. They went away after shutting the car off and restarting. After that, I didn't pursue it- haven't had any problems since(KNOCK ON WOOD!)

My bet is on the brake fluid level in the master cylinder, I looked at mine 2 times before I realized the line I was looking at was the mold line and not the fill line :crazy:
Afterwards no warnings anymore :)

Going off memory, I believe it's 50 times. It's been a while since I had asked the dealer, so that number may be wrong. Give a chevy dealership service department a call and they'll tell you the number for sure.
