car trouble

Hey latley every once and awhile when I drive my brake light, my track control and a red exclamation point comes up on my RPM meter. This specific combo isnt in the manual I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if they know what it is. It stays on for 10 secs then goes away and comes on 2-3 days later and does same thing. I have some aftermarket parts (milteck exhaust, alta intake and intercooler). I dont know what it could be.

The problem lies in your SZC ( streering angle sensor board ) You need to get it replaced. It works with the DSC. If its yellow you can drive it safely until you get to the dealer, as its using a set of fixed imputs. If its RED your DSC is not working at all. Have it checked out asap.

I bet it's low break fluid. Does it only happen in a corner when the DSC might come on?
