2000 Oldsmobile Alero

Electrical problem
2000 Oldsmobile Alero 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

The check engine light comes on, the low tire pressure light and ABS light all come on at the same time. Tried to reset the fuse panel for tire pressure and will not clear. Car still running smooth but cannot get the idiot lights to go out.

Check engine light:

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.

Is there a body control module somewhere? The low tire pressure, service soon, change oil, anti lock brake and trac off lights are all on. Is this something that maybe the dealer needs to reset?? What is the CEL that you referred to? Thanks

The BCM is behind right side of dash

I have had the car scanned, no codes are coming up, could there be an issue with the BCM that would cause the lights to come on and stay on? The car is still running good with the lights on, the service engine light is on both sides of the dash when key in the ignition and when you start the car the right side goes out but the left stays on along with the low tire pressure, change oil, anti-lock and trac off? What could be causing this issue?

Sounds like you need to have the body control module checked out-
