opie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm getting a beep and a quick flash of a warning light on the dash when I accelerate or turn quickly. The light flashing is red and is central on the dashboard, above the tachometer or maybe speedometer if I recall correctly. It has a "!" (exclamation) symbol. Does anybody know what this warning light is for? It only happens if I turn quickly or accelerate quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainla Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's most likely the traction control or the VSC kicking in. Are you doing these activities in the rain? Every once in a while if I try to pull out suddenly on a wet surface I can light up the traction control. Are the tires old? Do you feel a reduction in power when the light flashes?

amcdonal86 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Sounds like brake pad wear indicators if you ask me. If I remember correctly, it looks like this: ((!)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a excessive brake pad wear is sensed, a "brake wear" message is displayed on the "multi information display" (trip computer) in the instrument cluster of a 98-up LS.

The ! lights up and then in the display below it says the washer fluid is low. That's simple enough. If the problem isn't resolved by topping up the fluid, I'll post back. Thanks for the responses.
