Michael robinson Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Everytime I pull away fast or break hard , all the lights on my dash come on and stay on until I switch the car off and restart it. By lights I mean traction control light , hand break light etc Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Are these lights just not telling you that the traction etc is working ? Also check your brake fluid level. Alex. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 No mate they are staying on until you switch the car off Thanks al check the break level when it gets abit brighter Quote
wizurd Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Out of interest does the engine management light come on as well? Quote
CrumbMC Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Also check your brake fluid level. +1 if the slip light (the one that flashes when the TC operates) and handbrake light are both on it's probably the fluid level, which could also mean that your pads are low Quote
Flex Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Slow down till you get it sorted or even better don't drive it! Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Checked brakes fluid level it's ok right in the middle so not to low or to high . Engine management light dosent come on but my traction control ( little car skidding ) and ESP off light come's on and hand break light comes on . Car feels solid , brakes feel good .. Could it be a loose conntection on something like dash clocks or something as it only triggers when aggressively pulling away or braking ??? But I suppose that wouldn't explain why they disappear when you switch car off and back on :-/ Quote
CrumbMC Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Do you turn of the TCS and do a lot of power sliding? I have known it to happen because of this. I have also known it to happen when I bought the car and it had the worlds Sh%^est tyres on the back. However the Latter was also very noticable by the terrifying handling, ABS grabbing and the browness of my underwear. Which I guess begs the question, Have you got mismatching tyres or had new tyres fitted recently? If the car feels solid and your driving normally (ie not completely sideways everywhere) then I'm stumped. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Al check my back tire's as I do like the odd drift . They are all the same but not sure on tred . Abs dose not kick in when I brake and it dosent handle bad at all . Going to strip all wheels and brakes this weekend and inspect properly hopefully it's something simple like that . Quote

You saying that see this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/50960-warning-lights-appeared-during-spirited-driving/#entry761249 Reports back do say the fluid moving about in the reservoir can trigger the sensor that activates the warning lights you mention. Try topping up to the max and see if that cures it. Quote
Michael robinson Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks mate al top that up aswell when am checking the breaking system / tires at the weekend Quote
