Service engine soon light and traction off light is on low tire pressure light is on oil light is on vehicle just had oil change
First and most important, check your oil level...make sure it is at full and is clear (not dark).
Your conditions normally suggest an electrical problem mostly seen if the battery and or alternator is not at full operating range. Try to get a digital voltmeter and measure the battery resting (not running), it should be about 12.4 volts or higher. With the engine running, it should read 13.9 to 14.7 volts. A cheap meter can be found for less than $10 and if you need to, go to a commercial auto parts store like Autozone, Advance auto or PepBoys and they will test your battery and alternator for free.
Thank you, I will do that first thing in the morning...... What if it is not the battery or the alternator?
The battery is most probably on it's way out-if it will not 'accept' a charge you can try removing the negative cable to the battery and letting it sit for 5 minutes-reconnect it see if the light show continues. If so I really think you have a low voltage problem and the battery or possibly the alternator is the problem. Do not forget to check the oil though, that was just done and I am concerned the people who worked on your car were careless. The low battery might have been they left something on (radio, lights, door open) for a long time and that explains the low battery. The oil change is because of the oil light-it may or may not be related but that is much more important than the light show, if it is low it can easily and quickly damage the engine.
