Parking Brake/Stability System Lights Hello fellow LS1'ers -
Two days ago I got in my car to find the following -
-Service Stability System (TC is indicating "off" , will not turn on)
-Check Brake Fluid
-Parking Brake light that won't go off
I didnt experience heavy steering as some other members reported with similar issues. I am off to top off the brake fluid and check my battery cables. I saw several similar problems, but not with that specific combo of warnings. Anyone encountered this problem? Possible fixes? I will report back if I have any luck. TIA

I've got similar condition on my 05, I think I have an ABS lamp and no cruise control. I haven't had a chance to get the car in to have codes read this winter. Seems every time I have availability it's like today (-30c) or there's a foot of snow on the roads here. Mine's been basically parked since the first snowfall here. I'm thinking wheel hub/sensor or parking brake. I've had ABS lamp indicator since a big friend of mine took to the passenger seat so that's likely not related.
Subscribing, interested in hearing what other folks have to contribute.

I topped off the brake fluid and detached and reattached the sensor connected to the brake fluid reservoir. My parking brake light immediately worked properly, but my TC off light stayed on with no response from toggling on/off. I took it for a spin and parked it for a while - when I jumped back in the TC was functioning normally.

This typicalls occurs when your fluid drops below the normal level and sets the TC and Emergency Brake light off. I had my right/front brake hose break on me, the pedal was soft and the fluid was extremely low.
