2017 Q70 RWD 58k miles
My traction control and brake warning lights go on at the same time and then go away after 5 or 10 seconds. I haven't brought it in to the shop yet but am due for an oil change soon. Before I go in, would anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance.

Check your brake fluid level. If it's at or below halfway between Min and Max, it's likely the fluid is sloshing when you turn.

Come to think of it, It seems to come on with acceleration or going up hills. Nice job VStar. will check in the morning. But would that also cause the traction control light?

Yep, and the ABS will have a "past" code in it for fluid level. That causes both lamps to light.
