Yellow Handbrake light

Post by Safari Hunter » Tue Aug 08, 2017 1:35 pm

Hi
When I release the handbrake the light changes from red to yellow. I've have tried everything inc. new fluid to get this light off.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Adrian

this! Depends weather it was a generic reader - if it was something like INPA / EIDBAS it would definately show something up if the orange light remains.
