This very well could be a speed sensor issue but let's check the codes and go from there.

Once we know what codes are in it we will better know what the issue may be and can track that down. Let us know this and we will get you the testing and possible causes. Thanks

I attached the testing that we need to run through. It is not the easiest but that would explain why the lights come on just after moving a little while. This is basically saying that the speed sensor is not registering.

Many people just replace the speed sensor and see if that fixes it. Sometimes it does and others it doesn't. I would recommend running through this and seeing what we come up with because it could be just as likely an ECM or harness.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
