cbreddie Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi, can anyone shed light on this problem? The DSC light and handbrake light are both on, they are both yellow. The brakes seem to be working as does the ABS. I havent done much searching yet, but does anyone have any ideas where I should start looking? Many thanks in advance, Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Check your tyre pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadodo Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Could be one or more of many things, need the fault codes reading I'm afraid or its just guess work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 plug it into INPA. It will tell you exactly what is wrong and exactly what to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbreddie Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Kind of what I thought to be honest, will have to get saving up to get it checked. Its running ok for now. Brakes work well, ABS does seem to work ok. If I get it scanned and I get some codes, I will get back on here and see what you all think. I may be selling her soon, getting a bit tired of the dashboard lighting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I had exactly this within a mile after buying the car. Two tyre pressures were low cos it had been stood for 4 months. Lights went out after I did pressures and never came back on. Its worth a check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressures are spot on though. Thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyTi? Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I had these lights come on last month when I took a sharp corner and hit a bump. INPA showed STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. I cleared Error Codes and has been OK since touch wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J15 CJY Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 hello you will need to get this code read, but it is most likely either the angle sensor or the front speed sensor... try to clear the angle sensor by this trick... start car and slowly turn the steering wheel, full lock, left and right a few times.. this sometimes clears the angle sensor code... otherwise its your front speed sensor, but you will need to get the diagnostic to tell you which one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbreddie Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi sorry, not been on for a while. I was getting sick of the lights on, and after swerving to avoid a taxi (going for a head on) I drove up a grass embankment, hit a bump...... lights have gone off and more importantly..... stayed off. All good and happy now !!! Foe and momo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
