Warning Lights
 

On our way home tonight on dry roads 2 warning lights came on, "BRAKE" (not emergency brake) and "4WD", both at the same time. What could be causing this?

Brake Light
 

I have only had my X5 since August, so I am not as familiar with all the particulars like many members. But, I had a "BRAKE" light just under the temperature gauge in mid-December. The car is still under factory warranty. My service advisor told me it was time for new brakes and that I had roughly 1500 miles left on the pads, etc. I brought it in a week later and they replaced the brakes.

good thought. I had the fronts replaced at 100k, now have 108k so it could be the rears. Strange that the 4WD light also came on, maybe something to do with the abs sensor?
