Thank you Roy, I was just driving along on the freeway and all of a sudden the Battery, Anti-lock, and park brake dash warning lights came on, and stayed on while above 2,000 RPMs, as soon as I came to stoplight, they went out. I accelerated up past 2,000 RPMs and they came back on, an OBD shows no codes. So frustrated, as this car has been outstanding since 2004, and 197,000 miles.

I suspect this is a weak battery or some other charging system issue.

When you are raising the vehicle above 2,000 RPM, that is bringing the alternator output up and it is turning the light off. So let's get the battery and alternator tested at most any parts store. Here are some guides that will help with this:

Once we know if the battery and alternator are good we can go to the next step. Thanks
