Low brake fluid light then a DSC/DBC malfunction.

[swunder]

Low Brake Fluid light popped up while pulling into a parking spot today -- then it cycled off and on during the ride home. Also had a DSC/DBS malfunction pop afterwards.

Are these two known to be connected?

I did get a brake fluid flush done 700 miles ago at the dealer in February -- could they have messed something stupid up like the cap not on tight?

I haven't driven the car in a month -- I did hit a dip in the road at 60mph, not really a jarring pothole but certainly a dip on one wheel about 15 minutes before hand. Not seeing any leaks under the car though, thinking maybe I had busted a brake line or something. Could be totally unrelated.

Thanks for any advice!

Is your brake fluid low?
Check for leaks(if you haven't already)...
Any codes present?

I would try and get as much(free) info as I could...
Then report back here, someone should lead you in the right direction...

Pothole could of damaged a wheel speed sensor...

Looks like it might just barely be low. Nothing on the garage floor over night. I'll top off the brake fluid and see if that message goes away.

Speed sensor sounds possible, though I don't think it was that serious of a pothole, have certainly hit worse before.
