When driving above 4k rpm my brake lights flashes up for about 3secs and then disappear. The vsld light and slip light comes on afterward and stays on until I turn the car off and back on...

Anyone know why this is happening?

 

The brake light will come on during driving if your brake fluid is low. Check your fluid level as it may be just at the low mark. The other 2 lamps are being turned on by the ABS actuator and control unit which may be related. I would first address the brake light issue and see if that corrects the rest.

 

okay thanks. whats the best brake fluid to put in our cars? i have 17k miles on it
