Hi guys,

Currently finding that when I pull off or accelerate quickly, the handbrake light flashes up for a second then disappears and 3 beeps sound. Not finding any problems in performance or braking; but the beeps are really starting to annoy me!

I found a similar problem when I gave it a Google, with people suggesting that it is probably low brake fluid. However, my brake fluid is fully topped up.

Any other idea what it could be, before I take it in to the garage?

Thanks in advance!

Could be a faulty brake fluid cap sensor

Is there an easy way of electrically 'fooling' the brake level circuit into thinking the brake fluid level is ok by temporarily disconnecting the plug and linking some contacts ? just to fault find/diagnose.
