Default DCCD stopped working..

Hi,

I did some maintenance on the car today involving bleeding the brakes.

After finishing all the work started the car up to test out the brakes and noticed a red light on my dashboard, a circle with an '!' mark in the middle and two 'C' shaped marks on the outside.

I drove the car and noticed the DCCD is not functioning at all now, stuck in diff-free mode, the dashboard lights change as I move the wheel forward and back but I can't feel the centre diff locking, car just behaves as it does when in diff-free mode.

Anyone know what it is, have I killed my DCCD (can't see how, all I did was bleed the brakes and put in fresh fluid).

Thanks in advance,

Fz

Okay been told it could either be fluid level or a sensor somewhere. Checked fluid and all okay so assuming the handbrake sensor at the rear wheels has come loose.

Anyone know where it is and what I should be looking for?

Cheers buddy, that fixed the problem, turns out when I flushed the fluid the float got stuck at the bottom (I noticed the light was going out when I took bends etc).

I topped the fluid up a little over the max and used a small pin to prop the float back into position, popped right up and light went out.

Cheers,

Fz
