Warning Light on dash?

Postby Mitsubishi-Mental » Sun Jan 16, 2011 6:00 pm

Well lads,

i have an orange warning light coming up on the right top corner of the dash.
it only comes up when i use the brakes?

is it the brake fluid reservoir running low or something else?


Cheers

That would be your washer resevoir tank.
Top it up and it should go away

Sounds like g sensor calibration issue. Common enough problem and preventive maintainance should prevent a recurrance.

Poor bugger never knew what hit him. He still comes on now and again, bit of a split personality though. And its Toff McKiney sorry.
