How important are working brakes to you? To the people in front of you?

I understand what you are saying but brakes still seem to be working fine.

Under normal conditions they may work but if you need the anti-lock to kick in it may not. Same with the stability control.
Some of those parts can be expensive. You may want to consider used if they are. Don't wait long to see either dealer or indy shop to be sure.

Appreciate the feedback, all lights went off this morning on instrument cluster so not sure what to think honestly.

Would you at least check your brake fluid level?

Your checking account appreciates it. As joegr mentioned check the brake fluid, but it could have been a weather related quirk too. Technology is wonderful when it works perfectly.

EdP and Joegr appreciate the advice. Brake fluid level near max so good there.
I think it’s what you said EdP, because when I was driving in snowy conditions lights came in, so I think it is a weather related quirk.

When snow or heavy rain builds up on the clear plastic plate you get at least one error message for the auto braking and SCC

A failing HECU can exhibit the behavior noted by the OP: a electric HECU/ABS unit fault. When those lights are on, all computer-assisted brake functions are disabled (ABS, stability control, traction control, parking brake, auto-hold). A 20min car off reset can clear a fault like this, but it can come back randomly if the fault condition repeats while driving.

You'll know the HECU failed when you lose brakes in one or more wheels. But by then it may be too late, and it can come again at a very bad time.

Happened to me in the middle of a hurricane evacuation with the entire family in the car + luggage + 10 gals of gas. Not good.


Get if fixed.
