Hey guys, just got my car out of winter storage and it's great to have this beast back! I'm a little worried though about a dash light popping on under hard acceleration that I've never seen before. Around 5,5xx rpm, I get an "!" in a circle with "tarmac" setting showing up on my screen. Also, my "brake" light comes on. By this, I mean my e-brake light pops on for a second and then goes away. This all happens while I'm driving and I don't even touch my e-brake. I will also say that my check engine light does not come on, or hasn't yet.

I am noticing a little hesitation too at high rpm's. I attribute this to not being driven hard for a while and my tune isn't perfect yet (tuner would not fix it without me paying him to do it-not happening) I'm assuming over boosting still and running to rich but don't really know. Car drives fine normal and even at half-3/4 wot is fine, just under full wot this is happening.

If any of you could give me your .02, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Prolly a tad low on brake fluid..

 

this happened to me when my brake fluid was low. time to change pads.

 

if you already added brake fluid, dont forget to bleed some out before you change out your pads or you will have a big mess on your hands.

 

Your e-brake has to much play in it and as you get on it, it pulls it up a bit to activate the switch that triggers the light on the dash and the '!' symbol.

Next time you drive your car, drive the car and put your hand on the e-brake and get on it and see if it still does it.

 

That makes sense. I'll give it a try, thanks! I was confused because my brakes are still fine; nice and grippy as when I got the car. I''l take a looksy regardless. But thanks for the input guys.
