Thread: Brake TC light coming on (only under sudden application)

Hi People,
The other night I found a thread about the brakes on a P38 now I can't find it again, I even downloaded the article about replacing the accumulator.

The brake motor doesn't come on for long when the ignition is started, what I would regard as normal. I left the vehicle in the shed for a couple of weeks a few weeks ago and the reservoir back filled, I suspect that this is a different issue to the flashing lights issue, this is just information, just in case they are connected. Since starting to use the old girl again everything is normal.

My issue is when I apply the brakes a little bit more urgently than normal two lights flash up on the dash and then go off again, one is the TC light the other is the red one next to it.

The brakes work fine, no loss of fluid and under normal progressive braking no lights. Even if I apply the brakes slowly at the beginning and then stand on them later, no lights.

My other P38 did this so I'm starting to think this is "normal", go on shatter my illusion. The brake pedal is firm, brakes don't pull, pads aren't worn.

Any ideas?

Hi Benji,
Couple of good points, thank you.
