Problems with warning light in Citroen C8 petrol engine from 2014: brake wear?

Hey guys, I've recently had a problem with my 2014 Citroen C8 petrol engine. A warning light has suddenly come on in the speedometer. Could it be that my brakes are worn out? Have any of you experienced this and could give me some tips on how you solved the problem in the workshop? I would really appreciate your experience. Thank you!

Hi Person1, I can fully understand your situation. I had a similar problem with my 2012 Peugeot 5008 petrol (so only a few years older). As I have limited experience with cars, I was initially unsure what to do. I ended up going to the garage to have the problem checked. As you suspected, it could be the brakes, but in my case it was the DSC/ABS control unit that was faulty (although this is rare). The repair then cost me around 1000 euros. Can you perhaps share some more information about your vehicle? How many kilometers do you have on it? Have you recently driven through very rough areas or have you recently had an accident? This might help to identify the problem more precisely. I hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. My C8 already has 175283 kilometers on the clock, luckily I've never had an accident and rough terrain is not really my thing. It's also been a while since my last service. Your tip about the DSC/ABS control unit is interesting, I would just mention it to the garage and see what they say. It may well have something to do with the high mileage. I'll keep you up to date! Best regards!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! Your high mileage could actually play a role, as some components such as the DSC/ABS control unit can wear out over time. However, it's really difficult to judge this just from the internet. I think your trip to the garage is the safest way to identify the exact problem. Be sure to mention the DSC/ABS control unit, maybe that will help the mechanics. I'm curious to see what you find out and hope that the repair won't be too expensive. Please report back when you know more! I wish you every success. Best regards!

Hey, I really appreciate your help! I will talk to the mechanics about the DSC/ABS control unit and hope that helps. You're right, it's best to have it checked by a professional. I will definitely let you know as soon as I have any news. Hopefully it won't be too expensive! Thanks again for your help. Best regards!
