E85 issue HELP!

[bimmerjoe]

Hi guys,
I've not long had my 3L e85 and went out
For a drive down the lanes and the
Traction control light and yellow handbrake
Light have both come on...
Can anybody advise what this problem could be?

Does anybody in the West Yorkshire area have a scanner I could borrow to see what's happening?
Thank you

Was it raining? Could be the ABS sensor has got wet.

Seems odd but just put oil water and reset the battery and now it's fine :/

Has it stopped raining? :?

 

[bimmerjoe]

thepits, yeah it had stopped raining
So do you think it could be just because the abs sensor got wet?
