so i just noticed it b4 i left work today. when i start her up. the ABS and airbag lights remain on. the air bag light stays on for about 2 sec and turns off and the ABS stays on for about 5 seconds. now is this somthing that is normal and i have just never noticed it till today or can it be a problem. i have 9,700 miles. is there a 10k service?

 

This is totally normal. The computer is initiallizing the systems. Don't worry about it.

 

take ur car to the dealer ASAP before it explodes

 

Yeah, totally normal. Surprised you have not seen this over the last 9700 miles. All cars have this at start up.

For the 10,000 mile service, I don't think there is a need to have anything done unless you are in need of an oil change. I will have the biggie done at 30,000 which will probably cost over $300. Lots of money but well worth it for the life of the car.

^^ I agree, I haven't had any major maint done yet (rotate tires, checkpoints, and oil is it).... I'll take mine in at 25,000 for an inspection...

 

Bingo.

 

Was his name-o.

 

 

sit really far back in your seat like lowrider style because that air bag could go off in your face at anytime. I spoke to the dealer for you and he said if your "ABS" light is on it means "A bad Scion" and that you should take it back to yoru sale person and ask for one that isn't bad

 

Quick quick, what other witty comment can people reply with to imply this guy is an idiot for aparently never owning a car before. This could get ugly.

 

lol so freaking mean lol

be nice

 

hey you know what, its all good. My first car was a CRX that I rebuilt. About two weeks after having it my dad wanted to change the radiator fluid and didnt put back in the drain plug so i drove about 12 mi. in AZ without water. Because I was a first time driver and my car was a manual I was just concerned about watching my speed, shifting since it was a manual, and the stereo controls. Coming from my dads house who is a perfectionist I didnt think there would be a problem with the car and didnt notice that the temperature gauge was peaking by the time i got to my house. I ended up warping the head and some more damage to the engine.

First time car owners and drivers are going to make mistakes, people are going to pick on them for it.......I got plenty of crap for my CRX. I'm only messin with you 05FMTC so please don't get offened by my sense of humor.

 

its normal every one else is just givin you a bad time

 

hahaha... .... oops it's alright! it's okay! your car is happy anyway

 

you mean a "hard" time?

/just giving YOU a hard time! or a bad time? :D j/k

 

yeah dont let them give you a hard time.....if it stays on, thats when you car will explode....
