Brakes?

Zoom370z · 03-19-2016, 12:57 PM

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

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.

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.
