ASC/Break Light Comes on Intermitantly on Used Mini S 2007 just bought
Here's a picture of the lights: https://i.imgur.com/QuqYk.jpg
They seem to come on randomly, if at all. Yesterday I was driving it for a couple hours and never came on. When I first bought the car 3 days ago it was off, and then came on mid-trip on the second day. Any ideas what this may be? I checked the manual and I couldn't find this combo within the indicator section. Perhaps a failure of the auto stability control or sensor?
Thank you

Did you purchase from a dealer or private seller?
If dealer, and if you have a 15-, or 30-day warranty, bring it back to have them scan and see what faults are present.
With the ASC and BRAKE lights on, my thinking and experience would say it's a dying wheel speed sensor.

Thanks both for the reply.
I think you're probably right Erik. I'll have it checked soon.
Konquest: I changed the break fluid, but that didn't seem to have any effect.
I called a mini dealer and he said it is most likely a computer malfunction, since if those lights come on, they are supposed to go off immediately after, and if they aren't it may be a fault in the electronics.
