Emergency stop has stopped me...

Hi there. I had to do a fairly dramatic emergency stop from about 30mph when a kid ran into the road in front of me. No damage to the kid as
luckily I wasn't going to fast - although as the window was open he may have heard some fairly bad language...

But my 2002 Carrera 4 isn't happy!

Immediately I noticed a lot more travel in the brake pedal.

Then next morning I got a "low brake fluid" and also a "pcm fault" warning on start up.

(Haven't actually had the chance to look at the fluid level yet as had to rush to work )

Seems weird that sudden braking causes the fluid level to drop off and a pcm fault.

What do people think?

 
Could be a split hose - do the brakes feel weaker now? A split hose will also take out the wheel on the opposite end and opposite side. Try and get the car in the air & check out the hoses first - a split will be obvious. Alternatively, it could be a weak seal somewhere.
