Ok so I have a little problem with my 370z. When I accelerate my e-brake light comes on and then a traction control light comes on then the e-brake light goes away.... what can this be ? I checked my brake fluid and it's to the max fill line... any inputs on what it can be ?

My 350z did that when I accelerated hard. From what I understand it's the brake fluid just reacting to the force of the car surging forward.

Probably still your brake fluid :twocents:

Under hard acceleration the fluid sloshes in the reservoir triggering the light. Go ahead and top it off a bit more unless you plan on replacing brake pads anytime soon.

:iagree:
The two main reasons for a dash light to turn on under hard acceleration are traction control sensing wheel slip and low brake reservoir level. The reservoir level needs to be FULL - some people have reported having to go a little bit above the full mark to completely eliminate the light.

It could be something else, but I like to check the easy stuff first.

Your stuff is always appreciated.
