Hey all, sorry to ask such a n00b question, but any ideas why my brake sensor light (in my dash, like the check engine light) stays on usually in the morning and then decides to turn off half way through my morning commute. I haven't done anything to my car recently besides drive it. I tried my emergency break a few times, but that didn't make it turn off.

The weather is starting to get colder now, I wonder if it's temperature related?
Or does my car have additional sensors for brake fluid, pads, etc.. that I don't know about?

Please don't burn me for this post, I'm a car noob, but I'm looking to get my hands dirty and start fixing my own car, or at least do some of the easy stuff.

theres a connection on the emergency brake that can sometimes wiggle itself loose, this tends to be the cause,

take the plastic cover off and look towards the back i believe, make sure that's connected properly.

More than likely it is the actual brake master cylinder cap. There is a fluid level sensor in the car that can go bad, causing the car to think your brake fluid is low when it isn't. Check your fluid level, and if it's good then buy a new cap from Honda for roughly $10.00 or so and swap it out.

I usually don't recommend simply throwing parts at an issue, but the part is cheap, it requires no tools and takes all of 2 minutes to change, and is much easier than going into the console area around the e-brake lever to check the contact for the e-brake switch.

awesome guys! I'll check these things out I'm thinking it's the cap or the fluid it's self because it's on in the cold morning for about 20 min of driving then it goes off for the rest of the day.
