For no apparent reason the check parking brake orange light came on. On startup. It comes on.

The brake works when I use the switch. Is not dragging.

Any clues? Only 18,000 miles on the clock of a 2018.

 

Believe it or not. This, and any other random electronic issue, is most often related to low battery voltage. First thing: charge the battery FULLY. If the car is on its original battery, it is now in old age.

 

X2 on the battery check.

Look at the brake fluid level. Has it been replaced every 2 - 3 years? If not, you could be 'tricked' by the scum inside the plastic reservoir into thinking there is more than actual.

 

As we speak, the battery is being reconditioned by one of the fancy Victron chargers.

we test it out tomorrow. I thought it was a bit low.

Then I will check fluid level. I think I suggest to the dealer I wanted the system flushed. But, I think they think, they know better and ignored my request.

From my reading the battery is a simple change.
