Tonight I made my car beep. I'm familiar with the airbag cancer beeps, the low petrol beeps, etc and I'm sure I've heard this series of beeps before, but I own 8 Commodores and can't remember where I'd have heard it or what they signify.
It may have just been a coincidence but they happened at the exact moment I braked a little hard and turned a corner sharply (almost missed my turn, only just pulled up in time to swing around the corner). They went: beep beep bip bip bip bip bip.
Google just keeps finding me forum posts about fault codes. Any ideas?
Thanks :)

Brake fluid sensor? Low or poor quality fluid.

Handbrake? Drive off with the handbrake on one notch and see if it is the same beep.

I tried that :) The handbrake is only 2 beeps and 4 little bips. Not enough little bips.

Spot on. Figured given I was tripping it on corners it was likely fluid related. Checked the oil and it was horrifyingly low.

Nasty, huh?
Now the search is on for the source of the leak.
