• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Brake Failure Message

I am receiving a brake failure message. The fluid has been topped off but it didnt fix the problem. The brake light stays on even when the brake isnt set. Anybody have any ideas?
 
C1282 = Brake Failure (low pressure detected)

Possible causes...
Riding the brake pedal
Stuck brake pedal
Pedal not returning completely
Interference with pedal from debris or accessory installation
Brake switch failure
Water or oil in brake switch connector
Brake hydraulic system failure

The last is the least likely, the first is the most common. The fact that the code is still active with your foot off the brake indicates another cause, however. Check to see if your brake lights are on continuously, that would indicate a problem with the pedal or switch. If the problem is cleared, the fault should clear upon a reboot.
 
Sounds like a brake light switch problem or check the brake pedal to see if it has returned to the upper most position before being depressed.

Tried everything with no luck. It is going to the shop tomorrow for new tires so I will have them check it out. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
 
BRAKE FAILURE FAULT CODE C1282

I had the same problem. Took it into the shop and they said the brake was out of adjustment.
