What does it mean when the wheel spin light is on on dash.

Compdoc777 · 07-15-2012, 09:50 AM

My car has the wheel spin light on on the dash, but not the one when you turn off the traction control. This light is above that one and brighter and on constantly. Anyone have an ideas?

it's always on? even if you're not moving?

Yes constantly. I can turn the VDC off and on and that is another light. This is the same icon, but on constantly.

Brake fluids are getting low. when the brake fluid is low, vdc and slip light will both light up.

Ah, new pads time damn that is fast. I only have 16k miles. You would think they would use a better icon.

I know, right? I read somewhere that sometimes the E Brake light will flash letting you know. But I am not sure-

Good luck anyways!

Same thing happened to me recently. Had front rotors turned and brake fluid fell to slightly below the fill line.

It's really sensitive.

Had the hand brake light, vdc light going off/on randomly.

I topped off the brake fluid and it fixed that.
