hey guys for awhile now my e- brake light is just on when i start my car (not my abs light). it turns off after i drive around for awhile. does it mean i have to change my brake fluid? i dunno, have you guys had this problem before? thanks

 

has nothing to do with the break fluid..

I'm going to have to disagree with that: the light will turn on if the brake fluid level is low. Check the level and add to the "MAX" line if necessary. If it is in fact low, check your brake pads, they may need to be changed.

i agree check the pads and the fluid same thing happened to me and thats all that was wrong

 

Yes, it is actually an indicator of your fluid being low. Take a quick check.

 

Also, many people have this problem when it is cold out (about 50DegF and lower). Just let your engine warm up and it goes off.

EDIT: I have had the same problem and my fluid is full. Pads are in good condition.

ya what they said

 

Not sure if weather has anything to do with it but I had the exact same problem this morning on my 99 GSR. (Cold front came through last night woke up and its 36F outside) I left for class and on the way notice the e-brake light was still on. It would go away anytime a pressed the brake firmly. Got to class looked up this post notice you all said check fluids. On the way home the light never came on but when I checked the fluid it was about a 1/2 below the max fill line. Going to store to snag some fluid on the way to next class. Pretty sure this was the cause and fluids is the fix. (Checked all 4 pads last weekend they appeared to have atleast 50% left.)
