    Default 2015 F3 Error Codes / problem

    We are (new to us) Spyder owners. We just purchased a 2015 F3. We took delivery of it on Friday night. When we got home with it a code popped up and said "EBD FAULT BRAKE FAILURE" I had parked on a slight incline and after doing a google search I moved it to a level spot and after a few minutes the code went away. I also checked the brake fluid and it was full, just a little dark colored. Well, Yesterday we went for about a 50 mile ride and the code came back up again. I called a couple of dealerships and talked to the service managers to no avail. Neither of them had seen that code. I read the manual and checked for an error code and it showed "O C 1048". I checked the F3 this morning and it seems fine. Do any of you have any ideas what it could be?

    Thanks in advance

    Sounds like dealer missed something in prepping the F3. Take it back for some more "prepping."

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default Well....

    Can't find that code. Brake failure come from a series of places....check

    Brakelight switch
    Brake Light bulbs
    Brake pads
    Brake fluid even the slightest level change will affect it.
    Make sure you are not ryding with your foot on the brake
    Park brake issues

    Also make sure you remove the key and walk away so the vomputers reset and the codes clear.
    If they keep coming back see the dealer..

    It was taken back to the dealer today. I called to check on it and was told that they could not figure it out. They sent the file with the codes showing back to the manufacturer to see what they can find. Hopefully they can hurry up and get it fixed.
