Ok, shortly after I lowered my '01 GSR it started this problem. At first it was only if I let it sit a couple days or if I started it up in the early morning when it was cool out. But now that the weather has become cooler all the time its getting to be anoying.

I'll start the car and the BRAKE light that usually comes on with the E brake will be on. It will stay on until the car warms up and then go off for the remainder of the trip.

As of late it stays on longer (but its colder outside now) , it will go off when I brake for a stop light and then come back on as soon as I take off again. Usually does this for about 10min or until the car is good and warm then it goes off for the rest of the trip.

But if I let it sit long (like over night or while I'm at work) it comes on again when I start it back up.

Why would it do this? This is my nice car, the one thats supposed to not have any problems

check brake fluid and abs system

In short, it's the float in the reservoir that holds the brake fluid. Just lubricate the shaft that the floater slides up/down on w/ brake fluid. HTH

 

I used to have this problem all the time until it went away on its own. good to know it had no negative effects on the car lol

 

did you check your fluids as suggested?

Does that car have ABS? Might want to make sure you didn't damage a sensor.

 

my 99 gsr did this not too long ago.. I just needed to add brake fluid.

 

My LS did this for a while. I read a thread on team-integra where everyone complained about the same thing, and everyone came to the same conclusion. The easiest way to get rid of the problem is by opening the reservoir that holds the brake fluid, moving the filter on the top around, and then closing it back up. The problem goes away for a few months, and then may or may not return. Hope this helps.

 

Alright, I had already checked the brake fluid level.... but I'll try moving/lubricating the the float and see if that works....

at least it sounds like an easy solution.

Yes it has ABS, but I was careful with the sensors thoughout the install ... I did the suspension on my LS also and have had no problems, which is why I was so surprised when the GSR did have a problem.
