Service Engine Soon + VDC Off + Slip Lights
Anyone else have all 3 of these lights stay on at start up and your car won't rev? I then re-start and the "VDC Off" and "Slip" go off but, the "Service Engine Soon" stays on and it runs normally. This has now happened twice in the last month.

Hmm I had something similar happen a few weeks back and it was because the wires that were connected to my maf were rubbing against my strut bar base and causing a short.

That means your brake fluid is low. Those three lights came on when I changed my brakes and drained too much of the brake fluid. However, the OP has the check engine light on which is probably something totally different.

That's different than this happening during normal driving.

For anyone interested, the verdict is in. It was code P2135 which is Throttle Position Sensor Failure. The throttle body was replaced under warranty. On the short drive home from the dealer, it seemed to rev more freely.

This happened to me this morning too, I for some reason immediately checked my oil and it was fine. After I checked the oil, the VDC OFF and SLIP light turned off but the Service Engine Soon stayed on. Is it ok to drive to the dealership, I backed it up and it seemed fine…but I didn’t want to take any chances and just pulled right back into the garage and took my Jeep to work.
