[s-cars] RE: Hazards on turn signal... what does that mean?

[Scott Munger]

No one seemed to know this one... but now I do!

Seems that's the S-car's way of telling you the alarm has been tripped
(although it may be a specific sub set of that category).  Whenever I would
arm the car, it would get real pissed and beep long and loud.  Clearing the
ECU code of No Signal in the Engine Speed Sensor didn't fix it (not like I
thought it would...just hoping).  Once I did the key re-sync procedure, the
hazards were fixed, but the alarm was still angry.  I disconnected the
battery and reset the alarm.

All is happy now.

Half the things that go awry on this car require a computer scientist's
thinking of "unplug it and start over"...
