Took the car out yesterday to stretch its legs after a few weeks being a garage queen. Once oil got to temp and I started pushing the rpms the warning and brake fluid lights came on, so I lifted and let the revs come down slow. As the rpms came down the warning lights flickered until about 3000 when they went off completely.
I pulled over, checked the brake fluid level, and it was full.
So I get back on the road and under tame driving conditions the lights stay off. When rpms get up around 5000 they come back on and flicker as the rpms decrease to below 3000 and go off.
Hard braking does not trigger the lights.
Despite the fluid level being full I checked lines and saw no evidence of leaks.
Could be a bad pad sensor, but the rpm-dependent symptom makes me doubt that.
Thoughts?
