GMballistic Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Firstly where was the light? If it was at the bottom of the Rev counter then it's the shift light ~ like below. Lights up at the optimum moment to indicate you should change gear. Also can be set for different rpm levels to indicate when you want to shift gear.

Will370z Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Interesting. I had a number of lights flash up under hard acceleration on the 370. For me it was the hand brake light while in Europe. Then the esp off light then the slipper road indicator. When I did some googling I found it's common for these lights to flash up under hard acceleration when you brake pads are getting low as the brake fluid travels more because of the pads so the ecu triggers the lights. I was expecting that after my last service. Pads replaced and no more lights. May be related? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
