Default Traction LightZ

Hey guys,

I was just driving and all of a sudden I noticed that there was a "traction control" light on, in my center gauge. But it wasn't the usual traction control image. So when I went to turn it on a second one (actual traction control) apeared. There were two traction lights on. One read "off" which is the actual traction control. I tried checking out the Owners Manual and nothing came up.

I have a 2014 Z btw.
Any thoughts? Ideas?

Check your brake fluid.

Go check again. If it's more than the tiniest bit down from completely full, it will make those lights come on, especially under acceleration.

As per Chuck33079, the Z's are very sensitive to fluid level and the vast majority of the time your symptoms mean a low level. The level has to be FULL. If adding some fluid doesn't fix things, check back with us.

Completely solved the issue! Thanks guys. I will need to bleed it out soon though. Used an auto zone brand to test it out. Was planning on going with the GTR break fluid since my CSC has already gone out once. (Heard/Read that solves the issue)
Thanks again guys!

GTR brake fluid solves nothing. It's a band aid on a gunshot wound. Oem cscs will break period. The only sure solution is replacing it with an aftermarket one.
