    Is it normal to see the CST light up during start up? I just noticed it the last two times I started the car in the morning. However, when starting the car later in the day, the light doesn't appear. It's been colder here in CA in the mornings. Could that cause the light to momentarily light up?

    I just got the E differential valve issue resolved. I hope I'm not developing a new issue and another problem. The car seems to preform fine and no lights stay on continuously.

    Maybe I'm just paranoid and looking too carefully at all the lights.

    That's one of the symptoms associated with a low battery charge. Try putting it on a battery tender overnight and see if that resolves it...

    Thanks Rustybit,

    I've been driving the car everyday. And, what you say does make sense. After the car has been running awhile, it doesn't do it. Also, it's been cold here in the mornings and that can have an effect on battery power? I'll keep an eye on the battery.


    Thanks,

    Rustybits is right. Mine does same if battery is a bit low. Combine that with a cold overnight and that's the recipe. Just attach the tender. 99pct chance your car is totally fine. Nothing to worry about.

    Thanks Spyder631,

    I do drive the car quite a bit. Maybe my battery is going? I'll have it checked out.
