Following my inspection code alert I was driving today and the amber handbrake light came on along with the DSC amber light :cry:
I read the manual and it said 'Sell the car" Lol. Ok, not really... It says that the DSC has failed (obviously a worse case scenario). I've checked brake fluid and it's topped up to the max. (Amber handbrake light can also mean low fluid).
Anyway, I turned the car off and started it again and the warning lights have gone. Took it for a spin, a few moderate breaking moments and a sharp corner or two and still no warning lights.

Any thoughts anyone?
 
Typically that would be a pressure sensor on the master cylinder (there are 2 sensors). Code reader will tell you which one but I would probably change both. The chinese ones on ebay work fine.

Thanks Ph001. I'll look into that and get it sorted. That's a relief on both my mental health and wallet :thumbsup:
 
Just got the code for the fault. Anyone have any more info on this code?

What more info do you need? Change the pressure sensor / s.

Thanks Ph001...I just thought I'd run it by the forum to see if there were any other tips or advice. Thanks for the link :)

Are the sensors 1 and 2 the same? or is there a different sensor for each? (I know, probably another stupid question :oops: )
