  • Brake lines

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Hydraulic leak in brake system
  • Medium likelihood: Air in brake system
  • Low likelihood: Brake pump worn or weak

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically
