Warning lights - traction control issue?; Trying to find out what went wrong

Hi all,
After not driving my 2.5-16 for a while, my car starts to present some issues. One of them is the warning light with the exclamation mark lighting up while the car is in motion. It turns off when brake is applied, but once brake is not applied, the light turns on again. This only happens when car is moving.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks very much.

That sounds like the handbrake warning light??? The switch on the handbrake could be loose had this on an old car (not a 190) and it would go away if you gave the handbrake a tap. It is the ! In a circle with ( ) each side???

Could be the terminals on either the OVP relay or the ASD relay. Pull out the OVP check the fuses's in the top and check the terminals are still nice and shiney.
