Brake light coming up randomly and beeping.. wth!

[sempaipaul]

alright..

so one thing after another.. Yesterday and today throughout the day, while i am driving my parking brake sign comes up and blinks on the dash and goes beep beep beep

Does that for a few secs then stops.

Any ideas?

ABS module shot.

BBS Remanufacturing. $125

Takes 2 days.

You can drive without the ABS computer....it's an easy swap

my s6 has done this in the past remove the screen in the fluid ress and add fluid, the word brake and the beep is telling you fluid is low

I am actually considering doing some work to the brakes..... What would you recommend for braking fluid and is there a diy for this anywhere?

Thanks,

Does the ABS light come on also when the brake light blinks/ beep? if so ABS module is shot. Mine just went too and i just had it replaced actually. Brake Fluid is DOT 4. and for the DIY....... http://www.audidiy.com/c5a6.html

no, the ABS light does not come on. It'sonly the "brake" that blinks and makes a beeping sound.

Alright so I am figuring its the brake fluid then.

The Audidiy page doesnt have diy for brake fluid change... i didnt see it.

Add Fluid. Pretty simple.

Wll since I will be changing my rotors and pads probably, i want to do a full flush.

Hey guys,

What brake pads would you guys recommend? I will be upgrading to slotted/drilled rotors from SSP probably, so I am thinking about pads... what do you guys think?

could possibly be the fluid reservoir itself? i've seen this problem a couple times with the float inside the reservoir..??

Same thing happened to me. Added fluid, pumped the brakes a few times. Alarm was gone.
