i'll try to explain this the best i can

whenever i'm starting from a stop or slow speed and give it alot of gas 3/4 throttle+ my E brake guage lite comes on and then turns back off once i'm up to speed?? any idea what this could be it's really annoying..

thanks in advance

 

you could be a little low on brake fluid.... check that

 

-Remove brake fluid resevoir cap
-Add fluid if low
-Clean off crap building up under the resevoir cap

G'luck.

 

Jiggling the "floater" in the main reservoir works for me.

Man that sounded ghey...

 

Sadly, I had the exact same thing happen on my R. I fixed it, but don't remember what I did. DOH! It occured after I did my clutch change, so it was probably some wire I didn't connect back correctly on the install.

 

thanks guys, it's been taken care of. it was low on fluid but still above the min. mark by quite a bit. i topped it off and the problem's gone..
u all get

I would be very very suspicious to know why if I were you. Check all your lines. You're not supposed to "burn" off brake fluid like oil. May be signs of a bigger problem.

Not that we should burn off oil either

 

Low brake fluid level may not be indicative of a problem. As the pads wear the brake caliper pistons extend further towards the rotor. This effectively increases the volume of fluid held in each caliper, causing the fluid level in the reservoir to drop. Check and see if your pads are worn to the point of needing replacement.

^^^ I'm with this dude. Pads and rotors wear, brake fluid takes up the slack.

i know it's from the rotor wair. the cobalt spec B's are eating away the rotor nicely

As pads wear = fluid level drops
