Brake light & TCS light

Brake fluid was about at the halfway point. Refilled to the max line. Took the Z out and went into high RPMs, no brake warning light or TCS light. Weird

Check your pads for wear. You have a set getting low. The next you replace the pads. Be careful. Because the fluid you put in. Has to come back out. When you push the pistons back in. It will push fluid out.

it's not really low on fluid you just have too much in the calipers. The fronts hold a lot when the pads are worn. It will fill itself back up (or overflow) when the pistons are pushed back in.
