Specs: 98 Integra GS (Automatic)

**NOTE: I use to (before this problem) pull my E-brake up when parking.

Problem: Ive noticed in the past 2 weeks, every morning when I leave my house (Car is garaged), everytime I would take the E-brake off, the red BRAKE light on the cluster would stay on for about 2-3 minutes. BUT.... Everytime I would step on the brake it would turn back on for antoher 2-3 minutes. So in the course of driving and braking for lights or signs, it would like rest itself to stay on for another 2-3 minutes. This only happens in the morning. Afternoon and evening this doesnt happen. Does anyone know what can be causing this?

 

Check your fluid level.

 

yes.....the wire under the erake is loose from the butt connector same **** happened to me. take off the rear plastic center console (i think its like 4 screws) and jam that wire back into the butt connecter.

fluid may also cause it.

 

fluid lvl possibly...prolly the wire take off the center console about 6 to 8 screwes and there is a wire where the E-brake bar is take the wires and reconnect them to the main plugs! then baam it should be fixed perfectly!

 

Ill try that, thanks

 

I tryed what you sed, and im going to continue to watch this during the week to see if it has stopped, if it hasnt ill check the brake fluid level

 

def let us kknow and checking the brake fluid takes 4 seconds open th cap and peek inside

 

Maybe you guys can help me out. Heres some pics.

The fluid level looks fine


Can you show me the right bolts to mess with



The sensor seems to be working im guessing.


I hate my e-brake now

 

bump

 

That happened to me too, and there is a loose connection at the brake resovoir. If I wiggle the wires it will fix it.

 

I would say the connector under the pedal.. But it looks fine.

You have tan interior, lol.

Dude it's the fluid level..Just add a little fluid even if it seems full and you will see your problem is fixed...I also recommend you go to the dealer and get some honda brake fluid... they gave me a bottle for free Dont know about mixing fluids...

yes, i made the same post last week. i too have a 98 auto i just added a little more fluid(i had about the same amount as that pic) and it went away

 

I guess ill try that then and see. Ill keep you posted

 

def refill tha ****. even the littlest amount turns on the bake light.

 

How come it only does it when the car is cold? Becuase when its hot the liquid expands and fills up the cylinder more?

&lt;---Suck at science

 

i believe so. mine also only happend in the morning for about 5 min then it would turn off.
