Flashing E Brake Light - Without E Brake On
Has anyone else had their brake light flash and beep three times while driving without the brake engaged? It seems to happen only on cold days and only when I turn to the right. I don't get a message saying the e-brake is engaged, the light just flashes and beeps three times and then stops.

It is very important, hygroscopic fluids absorb water over time making the brakes spongy
and can cause brake fluid to boil and break down prematurely. Besides a flush every 2 years keeps the hydraulic system clean.

Re: Check your brake fluid level. You're low. Add some.
Thanks. I had the 80k service done (78k miles on the car) about 2 weeks ago. Isn't that something they should have checked?
