Which warning lights are on? The warning lights are indicating that the computers for those systems have detected issues and set trouble codes. The trouble codes can be retrieved by a mechanic with the proper scanner for the issue. Service engine light codes can be retrieved by the local Advance Auto/AutoZone/O'Reilly Auto stores for free. The easiest and cheapest way to reset the systems is to disconnect the battery for a few minutes, and then reconnect it. However, it is possible that the codes will come back as soon as you start the car and get going.

Use this guide to disconnect and reconnect the battery: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-car-battery

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
