Ok - weird. Today my car dash lights in the center started coming on - just the brake light as well as the traction control. they would come on for a about 30 seconds, then go off. the come on, then go off. For my entire 45 minute drive home.

I tried going between the UpRev tunes thinking that might have something to do with it - but it kept happening.

5500 miles on a fully loaded '15 Sport with Tech.

Thoughts anyone?

You could have a serious safety issue. Take it to the dealer as the car is still under warranty.

Brake fluid shouldn't be that low at 5,500 miles. But definitely check it. Also, if you go to the dealer, make no mention of UpRev and put the car into the stock tune (if your's is setup that way like mine).

Yeah definitely flash back to stock tune before you go to the dealer, you may void your warranty if they find the ECU has modified.

I totally missed the year and mileage. :facepalm:

You are well within the warranty. Get the car and let them sort it out for you. If you have a capable scan tool you can check for ABS diagnostic trouble codes on your own. The dealer will be fixing it regardless so I would just let them.

I was just going to put it to stock flash, and schedule an appt. I have paid for service for the life of the lease...so no biggie.

And I learned a long time ago to never mention any updates to the ECU. "What do you mean, ECU? What is that??" LOL
