Stop! Sign

[Oxymoron]

Hi,

I was coming off the Motorway the other night and I braked quite hard at the end of the slip road . As I came to a halt at the junction a red STOP sign illuminated briefly under the speedometer.It did this twice for a split second each time.

I continued home at a steady speed and the light hasn't come on again.

What will have caused it?...there weren't any other warning lights on at the same time.

Cheerz. :huh:

Its possible your oil level is a bit low? I know my old ZX used to do someting similar on right hand bends when it was geting low.

Another possibility could be low brake fluid.

Hi,

Checked the oil level not long ago and it was ok...But I haven't checked the brake fluid level!

The warning light came on again, momentarily this week, whilst braking for a roundabout.

Will check under the bonnet, once the rain and wind stop!

Cheerz. :rolleyes:

Hi,

Checked the brake fluid and the level was down below the MAX mark, but above the MIN mark.

Topped it up and haven't had the STOP sign come on again...Yet!

The low brake fluid level could be an indication that the brake pads will need replacing soon, alternatively leaking rear brake cylinders.
