Traction control light help!
 
So this has been happening for the past week, every time I accelerate on normal drive, the brake light will come on, if I let go of the gas then it goes away, if I keep on the gas it stays on until the traction control light is on, and the tcl stays on until I turn my car off. I've checked and filled up my brake fluids, nothing have changed, I wouldn't think I need new oem brake pads or rotors since my car is under 20k miles. I don't track my car and it's been my dd. Anyone know what is causing this and how to get rid of it. Thanks in advanced!

This was happening to me for the past month or so. I thought my brake fluid was good too, but I topped it off and it hasn't happened again since. When did you last check/top off your brake fluid?

About 2 days ago, it was a tiny bit under max when I first checked it, poured a little more in just to see it will solve the problem but it hasn't worked.

I'm not sure then. Hopefully someone else chimes in with some more insight

Try again and go over the max line.

Search is your friend. Instead of using the site's search, I prefer to go to any of the major search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to my search string.

I did and most with this problem said they just filled up their brake fluid and it went away.

I just top off my brake fluid to the top and it's still coming on. :(

I had the same thing happen. I topped mine just ABOVE the max line for it to go away.

As others have mentioned, it has to be FULL - sometime just slightly above the mark.

I topped it off as in all the way up

The FSM has descriptions of how the different systems work and troubleshooting procedures.

At 20k miles it's unlikely a need for new pads, especially the rears. It's easy enough to check, though.

When I replaced my rear suspension components the camber on one side went out of adjustment and caused the traction control light to come on. Perhaps something came loose at the track.

I don't have time to find it now but look through my threads and you'll find the details.
