ses light

antzcrashing · 05-11-2013, 02:37 PM

I got my service engine soon light (yellow) and I believe the reason is because my brake fluid is due on June 2013 (US 06/13) - about 20 days from today. Is this how it works, the light comes on yellow a bit before the actual deadline and will turn red once the deadline has hit?

Below is an image of the light, please confirm it is brakes fluid low.

How often do you guys change brake fluid, I have the dates that my front brakes were replaced including brake flluid, not sure on the date of the rears

front pads replaced with brake fluid May 2012 (1 year ago) - possibly my indy shop set the next fluid date to June 2013 (1 year from service). How often should brake fluid be replaced? Rear pads and rotors may need replacement soon

no. the ses light means something is wrong. maintenance issues will not trip the ses light.
