Interesting scenario today. Car running rough then check engine light came on, BRAKE light flashing, CRUISE light flashing, anti-slip indicator on even though it was not on.
Seems like everything just went haywire.
Pulled the the OBD codes - p0171 and p0174 - engine running lean.
Took at the MAF sensor and looked inside and saw something moving around - seems like a bug or spider got stuck inside where the 2 plates are in the sensor. Cleaned it all out, using a toothpick and MAF cleaner. Reinstalled it and car is running like a charm - and all the above lights went off after 10 min of driving!
All these crazy, random warning lights going off really can be misleading as it seems like there is something major going on or an issue with the ECU. Glad it didn't take it to the dealer - they probably would have run up a huge bill.
