Handbrake & traction control lights

[w1z]

Hi guys,

 

I hope this in the correction section. I don’t drive my beast much but last month I noticed the handbrake light and the traction control light were both constantly on while driving, it would go off sometimes but generally stay on.

 

A few weeks later the same lights were still on this time they were joined by the engine management light.

I took it for a spin a few days ago and now just the engine management light is on, the acar seems to drive fine....Any ideas.

Do the code reading pedal dance. Read/film the code

Sounds like a dicky sensor. Search Spursmaddave's posts he had a similar problem

Mine was a rear brake light switch that triggered an abs fault, sounds similar ie fault triggers abs which triggers ecu, my car drive fine but worth checking out starting with the code

low brake fluid will trigger the handbrake light. Have you checked the level

I was going to say the same as mike, check the fluid level, if low it normally means your pads are getting low, if you top it up to much its likely to overflow on the next pad change
