I have a 2018 Elantra, the last year the tire pressure lights pops up then all the other lights come on and off. It lights up like a Christmas Tree. This happened multiple times in the last year. The lights always come on when I can’t make it to the dealership or they will come on but turn off when I get to the dealership. They can’t find anything wrong with it. Has anyone had this issue. ---

Probably a failing body control module. > **[5 Common Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module (BCM) - Module Experts](https://moduleexperts.com/5-common-symptoms-failing-body-control-module-bcm/)** > > If your BCM malfunctions, you will notice a negative effect on the operation of your vehicle.

The trouble might be due to an issue within the alternator. It is tied to the warning light test circuit. ---

By all the other lights, do you mean the instrument panel’s icons? Or those plus some more? Where? ---

Might get the battery tested to rule that out. ---

If it’s still under warranty, just take it to the dealership and have them take a look at it ---

Unless it has a lot of miles a 2018 should at least be covered by the powertrain warranty. The OP has already taken it to the dealer at least once and no problems were found. ---

Then maybe he should either try another dealership or leave the car there for them to take a look at over a longer period of time for them to try and diagnose it. It would also be helpful if @marinemom78 would come back and answer any of the responses that have been posted so far… ---

Couldn’t argue with any of that if I tried.
