Hey Honda Tech guys my e-brake on my 91 civic dx light is always on, and the e-brake doesn't work at all. is it just the brake shoe that's worn out and needs cable adjustment for the e-brake light always on?

You might be low on Brake fluid.

my two cent i think theres a switch i cant remember were it is i think its next to the e brake handle pull the consle apart and clean the junk out of it and readjust it hope it works

i just had to adjust my drums, and now my e-brake works fine now. but the e-brake light is always on. it might be low on brake fluid so i'll check that out.

Or your brake pads/shoes may be worn down therefore making the light come on.

? if the pads wear down the light comes on?

my brake shoe pads are fine, my ebrake is working fine now, and the light is still on. im going to check my brake fluid when i get to work, and see if that help guys!

The e-brake light that's always on because of my brake fluid was low, so i topped it off and now it goes away once my handbrake is down. Thanks Honda Tech guys, you guys really know lots a shiiiet about honda's. I love this Forum site!

Did you take the drums off and inspect the shoes before adjusting? I only ask because not long after adjusting my backs without inspecting the shoes, I actually spit a piston out of the wheel cylinder. It was not fun stopping and I needed new shorts.

Jason Nucom

yes i inspected the rear brake shoes and the thickness is still in good shape. But so far that hasn't happened yet to my EF

Jason Nucom
