Had this once the day I got the car, decided to ignore it unless it happened again but now it has...
First occasion, last Thursday was braking from about 60mph to 5mph over about 150yds down a sliproad, then exited the junction turning left without needing to stop, cue ear-piercing double beep and "BRAKING FAULT" on the display. This quickly cleared and the display returned to "NO MESSAGE AVAILABLE" and plugging in the laptop found no codes to read. Checked fluid level, fine, checked pads, look fine, didn't happen again until...
Second occasion, yesterday braked from about 70mph to a stop at a roundabout on a dual carriageway, over about 100 yards... remained stationary for about 10 seconds then pulled out onto roundabout and as I did BEEP BEEP... "BRAKING FAULT" again. Again it cleared, and there were no codes for the laptop to read.
Any ideas at all? I had a 2.5 hour journey home with the car on Thursday without any problems, and I've covered over 100 miles since without any problem apart from these two occurences, at no point has there been any problem with the car's ability to brake :S
It seems to happen when I proceed on after braking, could it be that the car is sensing the brakes not releasing properly or something similar to that, but they then do release fine, hence the fault clearing? Any info would be much appreciated! :approve:
