Default If it's a little light with an "!" inside a triangle that is your ESP light and it is going off, not

your brake light.

Default No not the esp light, it is a red light that says "brake". It flashes every now and then...

during full throttle acceleration.

If it beeps when it flashes it needs brake fluid (thanks Wes), not sure what it means if it doesn't
