Issues with dummy light on dash
Issues with dummy light on dash
Hows it going guys?
This started last night all of a sudden. I got in my 2004 G35 sedan and started it up and took off. I noticed while looking at the gauge cluster my dummy lights for the parking brake, slip and traction control were all on. The problem was my parking brake was depressed and you all know that when the car starts up your traction control is on. The traction control was not working just to let you know. I burned out to see if it was working or not. So I pulled over and turned off my car to see if I start it back up if this problem will still be there. They were. So I drove home which was about 5 miles away and eventually the parking brake light went off.
I went to bed thinking I will get up and see how this works out in the morning.
I started up my car and ran a couple of errands and eventually they all came back.
Has anyone had this issue before?
thanks

Known Issues
1. brake pads & fluid were running low, but topping up fluid did the trick. (personally experienced)
2. brake switch defect (read about it)
Special case i experienced
I removed my steering to change the steering switch and accidentally rotated the steering angle sensor, the problem was quite severe to a point where the ABS keep on engaging itself. Run up a diagnosis and found steering angle out by 380+ degrees, did a reset and everything back to normal.
my guess yours should be problem 1
