warning lights after towing car. Help!! (pic)



The above picture is the warning lights that are on in my car after towing it. I towed it on a 5 hour trip, 2 wheels down on a tow dolly. It is front wheel drive, had the key on accessory position the whole time, parking brake was off. It was driven once we got to our destination, with no error lights. These only appeared after coming back. The only thing I did wrong was I forgot to disengage the parking brake for the first half of the way down the ramps when I unloaded. But these lights were already on before I backed it down anyway. I had only turned it on to disconnect the safety chains underneath, it was not on during towing. I can't think of what I did wrong! And I'm not quite sure what this means for my car!
  • What year/model of car?
    Have you looked thru owners manual as to what the symbols indicate?

    Far right....ABS is a malfunction in braking system
    Far left....yellow looks like a car skidding/sliding
    One next to yellow..........haven't got a clue what it is :H

    Course I don't have a clue what car this is nor have I been able to read your owners manual

    Have you ever towed this car before?
  • Look at the ABS sensor on the front tires. The strap for the dolly may have knocked the connector off.
  • Whats the make and model of car? Year?

    Is the car running in the pic you posted? Are you saing running these lights do not go off?

    Looks like an abs sensor gone bad. Dont know how far you went with emergency break on, but you may have over heated something..
