Hi all ,
Not a tester or mechanic, need some advice, have a warning light came up on the iveco control panel that shows a circle with a wavy line inside, the circle has brackets around it, the manual says brake fluid low or washer fluid low, both fluids have been checked and are fine. The light came on 400km after having all the brakes replaced by a main dealer but by then was in France.

Having queried this on a few iveco forums many say that the control panel has been removed from theirs as the sensors apparently send faults.
Removing the control panel means the hand brake light doesnt come on, I would assume this is a fail for an mot or is it an advisory?
I want to present it as is but am concerned that it will be prevented to be driven afterwards to get it repaired.
Thanks in advance.

Hand brake warning light not working is not an MOT failure item. As for the warning light it sounds as if the brake fluid/washer fluid level sensor or it's wiring is at fault.Both should be simple enough for a garage to check and fix. I would suggest that is a better solution as IF the brake fluid level did get low it would be good for you to know about it!
On a 1996 vehicle they're both going to be very simple float switches, nothing complicated.

The problem highlighted here is getting worse. Instead of taking the vehicle to someone who has the training knowledge and skill set to make repairs, people take to the internet to try and sort it themselves. Don't get me wrong, of course I understand why. No one has money to throw away. Your vehicle is indicating it may have a brake problem. It's probably not, as our members have advised. The best way to resolve this is to have it checked out. Properly. Then you can have peace of mind. We cannot diagnose from a forum, and a common saying is, 'diagnosis by guesswork is not a diagnosis at all'. Our guys will always do their best to help, but you need to take it to a professional, and it is best practice for us to give you that advice with the rest.
