Check brake fluid level and make sure no leaks if low fill to proper level and check brakes it low change them as to esc when tires were changed workers may have hit sensor or damaged wiring by front end or a bad sensor sometimes rarely some hhr owners state a hiccup and reset the computer and it was fine but before you do that check and make sure brake system is correct and safe usually brake resets itself when repair or fluid is corrected

SOURCE: resetting "service tire monitor" light on 2004 silverado

I have a 2004 Silverado with the same problem.
After scrollng the internet for months and reading every manual I could get my hands on, I found, for me, a quick and easy way. Open the hood, remove the cover to the Underhood Fuse Block on the drivers side of the vehicle near the battery.
If you have the manual for your truck, go to page 5-126 and locate the fuse that says IPC/DIC, it is a 10 amp fuse.
Pull the fuse and start your truck or a few sceonds.
You will notice that nothing on your insterment will work.
Turn engine off and replace fuse.
After I did this, the message did not come back, and started my truck about 15 times to make sure.
It worked for me....good luck to you.

SOURCE: ABS/Brake dash light on 2004 Chevy Astro rear wheel Drive

Look for wires hanging, near the tire area under the car. An ABS sensor wire may be broken or the sensor is damaged.
Getting the system scanned will tell you exactly what is going on.

SOURCE: Tire pressure monitoring system needs service

Check to see if the sensors are reconnected. If they are, lower rear tire pressure to 55 to 60 and recheck status light. You will have to turn the engine off and back on to reset.

That is a stretch but it has worked for me on other Chev models.

P.S. Confirm 55 x units mbar KPa Psi with tire pressure gauge.

I just had my tires rotated on my Chevy Hhr but a service esc had come on. what does it mean?

Ask the MOB who rotated your tyres as the may have done something to the ESC control.
Next time Rotate the Tyres yourself and it will not COST any money only 30 to 60 minutes of your time

The Brake warning light comes on. I checked the brake fluid level in master cylinder & it was okay. The fluid looked dirty. Please help

Sharon, Check to make sure emergency brake is not on and fully released, try not to drive your vehicle if the red brake warning light is on. Could have air in the system from a small crack in brake line, faulty master cylinder, faulty caliper etc. Have a good tech. check braking system, diagnose and estimate repair.

Low Tire Pressure Light, ABS light, Trac Off Light and Service Traction Control

I assume this is a Ford vehicle. Start by having the rear axel serviced At the dealership. There is probably metal dust on the magnetic speed sensor, that triggers off of the ring gear inside the axel housing, causing the fault warning lights on the dash. Run an OBDII scan with a print out while at the dealer. Of coarse fix the tire.

Just noticed a scraping noise while driving coming from drivers side rear. Sounds like brake pad is scraping but not sure. It happens with every rotation of the tire, does change in sound when brakes are...

So take your brakes apart & do what ever service needs to be done

They should come apart once a year

If your not doing that ,disassembly,rust removal,lube
& any machine work, if necessary,your going to have
braking problems

The fluid gets changed every 2 years,so there is no excuse
for not being in there looking things over

I just bought a 2006 Tacoma Prerunner V-6 that just hit 70,000 Mi. The truck didn't come with an owners manual. The Maint. light came on at 70 k. I understand it will come on when its due for an oil...

Other than the oil change I would recommend replacing the spark plugs, change the coolant, air filter, cabin air filter, rotate the tires and check brakes, change transmission fluid and differential fluids and transfer case if 4x4.

B1 engine code on 2007 honda odyssey

It's a maintenance reminder for:
B=replace engine oil and filter/check brake system/check fluid/look car over
1=rotate tires
Honda call this a 7,500k service. it's about $100.

if it was me, i'll just get a oil change and ask them to top off my fluid about $24
rotate tires if need about $20 and ask them to peek at the brake during rotation.

What is B13 service code?

B13 says its time to check your oil levels and change your oil filter and inspect your tire rotation and brakes...Its better to check transmission fluid also along with this.. Its sort of a code for regular maintenance.

There is no problem with the car at all i just want to keep the car in great condition so i was just wondering what regular maintenance is the most important and needs to be done regularly besides the oil...

New timing belt and serpentine belt every 50,000 miles. New filter with every oil change. Replace the air filter when it gets so that you can't see diffuse light through it. Watch fluid levels. Have the CV joints and rubber boots checked every 20,000 miles or so. Check with your transmission servicer for fluid and filter changes. Replace platinum spark plugs every 100,000 miles along with new spark plug wiring. Check the codes if the check engine light comes on. Replace the fuel filter ever 20,000 miles--more often if poor fuel quality.
