And worst of all the limp mode caused me to loose control mid apex and due to the wet ground from recent storms ..... I didn't stop till i was in the trees . No i don't feel like posting pictures at this point . Full damages still unknown but front driver quarter panel, front bumper, drivers headlight , drivers door, left rear control arm all def toast. Do not , i repeat do not track your car if you are having the yellow brake light limp mode.(Only code in ECU was for the Brake booster which i have fully replaced including all vacuum lines /sensors etc. long ago including installing a check valve to prevent boost from entering the system.Brakes were completely solid again zero fade as usual with my PFC kit and ducts) It will eventually bite you in the ass no matter how good you are. I have been pushing my luck for almost a 1.5 y and mine finally ran out. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. If ESS can't give me a software fix I'm done with this car after it is repaired.

I am having the brake booster code with my car as well but no yellow light limp mode and i didn't do anything because my mecanic said that it was ok and normal with the SC kit install.
I did have an accident as well and the ABS did not engage properly (i didn't hear it), are the brake booster code and the yellow brake light on dashboard related?

Could i be having some sort of failure that caused me to have a brake failure?
