Was driving my car today and looked down at the speedo and it says service brake system. I didnt get a check engine light or anything but it said that,i cleared it and it hasnt came back since.

i would think your ABS and TC lights should be on. would seem to be a Reluctor wheel issue with the ABS/ Wheel Speed Sensors

09TcSedan

yea,i dont get it. i figured if something was wrong a light would stay on.

about 30 minutes before i saw the light. i did a 3 to 4th gear pull. i did a 2nd gear pull and spun in 2nd and the traction control light came on when the tires start spinning.


i drove my car for about another half hour after i saw the 'service brake system' pop up on the dash. only came on once and never came back

i've ran into an ABS issue once where i started to take off, and hadnt released teh ebrake, adn it cause the ABS light to come on (i dont have TC), i restarted the car and have never seen it since, Did something like that happen when this came up?

09TcSedan

nope lol i was driving while the service brake system thing came on. i cleared it and then stopped by my buddies house then i left about 10 minutes later and then when i left i was doin about 30 and slammed on the brakes and stopped on a dime. so the brakes still feel the same.

i honestly wouldnt worry then. If it was a serious issue the ABS or BRAKE lights would come on.

09TcSedan

check your brake fluid levels

DIC warning indicators, when you hit the info button, don't stay on. Same way when you have low tire pressure, it will say it on the dic, you clear it, then it doesn't come back till you restart the car if the problem is persisting.

BRAKE light would come on then.

Does it? Wasn't sure if it did that on these cars too or not. That's what happens when mine is low, but I don't have a dic.

^ yes. IIRC its a law that it has too.

09TcSedan

i know when mine went low, i had to replace the rear calipers, they were leaking from the back around the e brake mechanism.

09TcSedan

Its not low. Just checked it

Should be a code linked to the service brake system. Have a tech 2 hook into it and check history codes. Probably a "b" code of some sort

09TcSedan

Ill have to have my friend do it and check for a code.

Yea mine did the same stuff and I was leaking from my rear calipers too.

09TcSedan

If it was leaking from my rear calipers,wouldnt i find fluid on my garage floor?

I wouldn't worry about it. I had that come on the DIC once before. Took it to the dealer and they said it must have been a glitch in the system. Hasn't come on again.
