caution light on 360.

[V8 BYE]

I keep getting a warning light appear on the dash when i hammer round a left hand bend and it doesnt come on at all at low speeds. I thought it may be low oil but thats fine. Dont know if the 360 has brake wear indicators Any ideas or is it a trip to the dealers?

cheers

bob.

If it happens going round left hand corners then it might be related to fluid moving about. You might be reducing the amount of oil getting to the oil pump and the oil pressure might be dropping. It might be a low fuel warning that's coming on as the fuel moves to one side of the tank.

It could also be a dodgy electrical connection and the faulty wire / connection is being manipulated the right way to cause failure in tight left handers. Most of these will be fail safe, so if they're not connected they will display a fault.

It may also be a genuine fault too of course.

I'm no Ferrari expert, but I'd first check that all the fluid levels are correct. If you post a picture of the symbol that's coming up I'm sure someone will be able to identify what the fault is.

On most cars that means either the hand brake is on or the brake fluid is low. I'd look into that one if I were you! If hard cornering triggers it then I'd say it's quite likely that that's what it is. It's probably a job you can do yourself, but if you do, don't spill any on your paint because brake fluid is corrosive!

Edited to make sense.

I would agree - when you are cornering the level changes - hence the light. Top it up and see if it makes a difference.
