hadyn Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Took the supra out for an evening blast tonight and on three seperate occasions the red triangle warning light and handbrake warning light have lit up together when coming off full boost(both turbos online) and slowing down with the brakes. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 How long have you been on here? It's your brake fluid mate, top it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 First time ive ever seen the triangle light up in 8 months of ownership mate. The triangle didnt flicker it was solid and then came off. No power loss or anything like that - car has been feeling very quick this colder evening!

hadyn Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 It didnt flicker tho Ian. The warning light and the handbrake light came on for approx 1-2 secs then disappeared - is this what you mean by flickering/intermittant?

Getrag Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 This has happened twice to me now. Get a bottle of brake fluid and keep it handy for this happening. Last time was actually a couple of weeks ago, topped it up and no more warning lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovels Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I have the same problem, and yes - I know I've gotta top the fluid up. But with what brake fluid? Is there a certain type I should use? I don't know what was used last by the garage - should I find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
