Sounds like the old bomb is giving up the ghost - use your owner's manual to
verify which alert - I expect it is low pressure for brakes. Verify your
Hydraulic fluid reservoir is above the minimum (Pentosin only), and that
your coolant is full. To verify its the brake pressure, after you have
checked the above items, look for the sensor directly behind the brake fluid
reservoir (make sure that's full too) and unplug both wires - light should
go out. Then spit 265.00 outa yer wallet fer a new bomb...
