    I was having an issue with my car. As I would come to a stop, just before, as I was slowing down, the car would jerk and jolt forwards. It’d be worse the faster I was going, and the harsher I’d be braking. (I try to brake slowly and gradually of course, not harshly). It would feel like I was being hit from behind the car. Thankfully, this has now subsided, but I now have the yellow VSC, ABS and (!) on my dash… I’ve ordered a Autel, but hasn’t arrived yet, so can’t read error codes at the moment. Help please!

    Thank you. This seems awfully complex and time consuming for me. I’ll wait for my Autel. I wasn’t really asking about the error codes. In more curious about the odd behaviour.

    Looks like the car is doing its best to tell you: problem with the braking system.

    It even wants to tell you what problem with the braking system, but you have to ask it.
