I've done it every other year, I cleaned and lubed the Brake Calipers. Actually just the front passenger side, it was getting late Friday and I was tired after night shift.

Anyways, I didn't get a error code yesterday but this morning it came up.

I admit I forgot to check the brake fluid afterwards, again was tired. It is a bit low, so is this all the problem? So if I top it up, when it's cold how do you CLEAR the error message?

Thanks in advanced.

If you’re getting a brake error code it’s likely because of the EPB. I would check the connectors on the rears, they’re are EASILY broken

It gave me several errors actually. I just remember, brake fluid was one of them.
