Technical ABS and handbrake light

[Treker]

Hello 2 all!

Sometimes, when I hit a bump, or drive on gravel roads, or even when I accelerate hard, both lights for ABS and handbrake turns on. Then I stop, turn the engine off, start it again and all looks normal. I suspect bad contact somewhere...
Any ideas where to look?

It could be the fluid level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir. (I'm assuming its not just low fluid ).
When you unplug it cover the reservoir with cling film using a rubber band. After testing/cleaning it, rinse it with some fresh brake fluid to remove any contamination.
Remember brake fluid is corrosive and a skin irritant so be careful where you splash it.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

thx for a quick reply...
No, there is enough brake fluid... but I will try to do what you suggested. Soon I hope, as right now temperature outside is only 6 degrees... brrrr
