Nic Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The red triangle? That is the general warning light for any problems detected by the ECU. First thing I'd check would be brake fluid level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Nics answer is the most common cause. If you say it goes out when nudged it could well just be the sensor on the handbrake lever. It's easy to access - remove the centre glovebox and you can see the switch and connector. It's only held in with a small screw and they can come loose (though only ever seen it twice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The warning light on my car lights up when i start my car and then turns off after a short while. Should i be concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Mine does this to, its nearly always on. Cheers for that Darryl, i'll check under the centre glovebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanfraser Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 thanks guys will check it later, the handbrake signal comes on too so guessing it could be the sensor, will keep you updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
