I personally have not had this message yet.....but I've had a couple of other messages that when I check whatever the message said....all was fine.

I got an oil message......which was in the messages menu for several miles while blasting down the highway....that went away after I got off of the highway. I checked my oil (after a cool down period) and the oil level was perfect. Have not seen it since.

Ok so I had my son step on and hold the brake pedal down and after about 30 or so seconds it flickered and went out. Message came up on Dash. Re stepped on the pedal and light came on again. Wiring, connector, or bad unit?

You have a bad center brake light and it cost a fortune to replace a 200 part because of the Labor

Probably corrosion or a bad connection. Yeah they are not cheap to replace

Hope my extended warranty covers it....$100 deductible. But I'm sure they are going to tell me I'm due for a new battery, 4 wheel alignment, coolant flush, wipers and brakes... So about $2200.00 later

Just FYI, and its been this way even with the 220's when you get a check light warning, alot of times the light wont be out yet, but is on it's way out.. must be something with the voltage, but usually when you get that, the light will go within a month or so after.
