Dazzi Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hey, recently everytime i boot it and hit high rpms or shift into another gear my handbrake light comes on plus the triangle one. I thought it was throwing codes up but checked and all clear. I have had a bee r rev limiter on the car for a couple of years and its hooked upto the handbrake for launch control. Recently when i start the car in the morning the light stays on for about a mile and then goes off but intermittently comes on when going round corners... ground issue? Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 brake fluid level low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 brake fluid level low? Very common issue, if the brake fluid is just slightly below the level you'll get the warning light illuminate when accelerating or braking. Make sure the fluid is at or slightly above the level. If your brake fluid level has dropped check the pad wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks guys. The brake fluid was on min. Also noticed the clutch fluid was below min. not sure if this would have an effect either? I haven't test drove the car yet so i'll see if its made any difference tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Thank you guys, it was the brake fluid level. There was me thinking it was a grounding issue lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsar Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've got the same problem but it's not the brake fluid level.. It comes on at exactly 50mph and doesn't go out until I turn the engine off I've found that if I accelerate hard from 40mph to 60mph it doesn't come on but as soon as I drop to 50mph it comes on again Anyone got any ideas please ?

monsween Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Could that be the active spoiler not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsar Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Could that be the active spoiler not working?
