my car was cold today when i got in and started it and my low air pressure dumby light was on but i knew i had to go fill my tires up cuz i have a leak in my left rear tire so i let it warm up a little and started driving all of a sudden the emergency brake dumby light came on....then the VDC OFF light was on and SLIP light was on and they werent going off...when i parked and shut it off then waited and started again they didnt come back on....

but as i was driving i had to slam on my brake and the emergency brake light came on and went off...does that mean something? or any reason y any of these lights came on or does the cold weather screw up the electronics?

i know it screwed up my DVD navi door last winter...but now all these lights came on...

any ideas??

 

Sounds like a gremlin in the car. munch munch

 

hahaa hes messing with my dumby lights

 

Check your brake fluid level.

 

will do...thanks

 

brake bluid was at the MIN line so i went out and got some DOT 3 and added to the MAX line....see what happens next time im driving now

 

When the fluid is low and you brake hard, that will cause the BRAKE light to come on as it's the low fluid indicator.

 

If your brake fluid level is low, that definitely explains why your emergency brake light came on.

You should check your brake pad levels. Usually when the brake fluid gets low its either because you have a leak somewhere or its time for new pads.

 

yea i am going to see tom. since i filled the brake fluid up...

any reason why the VDC and SLIP light were staying on? i duno what that was about

 

yep they all work together as one system. This happend to me...filled the brake fluid up. all better

 

yup it worked(no more lights coming on)...thanks everyone


i kind of figured they were all tied into the same thing
