Default TCS, LOW BRAKE FLUID & PARKING BRAKE

I have a 2006 GT and the problem that I have is that sometimes my TCS, and parking brake warning lights on the dash-board turn on (and stay on). I also get a "Low Brake Fluid" message in the onboard computer, and the TCS switch lights on indicating that the TCS system is off. Even when I press the TCS switch nothing happens (the light in the switch stays on indicating that the TCS system is off). After a while everything returns to normal (both warning lights turn off, the on board computer does not indicate any problem with the brake fluid, and the TCS switch works). Under normal conditions I would take the car to the dealer for a check up, but the problem is that I live in Madrid, Spain, and the Mustang is not serviced by any Ford dealer in Spain.... so I am on my own. Any help will be very much appreciated it.

I'm fairly certain that all warning lights go thru the "smart box" under the dash in the passenger side. So.....check for a leak.

Carlos, did you get this situation repaired? Just wondering because now my 'Stang is pulling the same chit.

I just wanted to post an update for this situation in case anyone else encounters it and does a search on this forum. After driving a 2008 Fusion loaner car for two days (boring as hell, I might add, felt like such a family man) I got my 'Stang back from the dealership. The problem was a defective ground (No. G101) in the ABS circuit and it is covered on TSB 19296. From this Website I got the TSB number and alerted the service advisor to check on it (we have more trucks than Mustangs here in Texas, don't ya'll know). It's all good now and I might add that Five Star Ford's Service Dept. rocks (North Richland Hills, Texas).

Did the repair of the ground (No. G101) in the ABS circuit resolve the problem, permenantly? I am having tthe same problem with the "low brake fluid indicator"

Fourteen years later I'm sure you're going to get an answer.

Haha! We are experiencing many threads being pulled from the dead by noobs lately. I remember years ago, everyone and their brother would post a new thread right below a thread that covered the same issue. Same pendulum, different direction I guess.
