Fuse/Circuit fail 2, check your fuses in the Left side fuse box.
Fuse/circuit fail 1, check right side fuse box.
Fuse/Circuit fail 3, check fuses in the centre cubby box.

Cheers,

Hmm. So you have a fail warning, but everything is working and has done so for over a year. The car runs fine?

Have you checked the fuses and the fuse slots with a multimeter/test meter ignition on.

This might sound a bit condescending it is not meant to be. Are you sure that you have not mixed up low coolant with low screen wash;

Low coolant bottom right red on the display.
Low screen wash second from the top, left side of display orange.

What other messages show up on the VCM, if any? Check engine message, for example.

What year is the car? Earlier models are slightly different.

Check the wiring connectors to the expansion tank low level sensor. i.e. remove and replug (carefully). If all looks good no broken wires or excessive oxidisation. You may want to test the sensor itself.

Use an ohmmeter for this. The resistance should be less than 150 ohms. (Couldn’t remember exact figure, so used book). If the reading is higher, replace sensor.
Cheers,

Default thanks for that

Thanks for that, i will check it out once hurricane harry has left my area lol. At the moment you can get blown faster than a car. So when it stops i will then take your advice and check it out.

There are other messages which i cannot remember yet, but i think one was about brakes, then one is about coolant and not sure what the others are. But i will check.
