I was driving last night and I launched a bit more agressively than normal. Or rather just mashed the gas in first/maybe held the friction point for a second.

Well the e-brake light came on for a second and then went off. I didn't think anything of it and it's the second time it's happened.
What's going on?

 

low brake fluid

 

Check your brake fluid, its probably low. So every time you shift hard the fluid pushs to the back of the bottle and drops the sensor down low enought to turn the light on.

 

I just had the vehicle serviced/fluid flushed too....

bastards at the service dept!

Thanks, i'll check it out.

 

Brake fluid is probably low, but there's probably a reason why. Check the thickness of your pads to make sure they are still reasonable.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the pads, it was in less than 3000km ago and I asked about the brake pads, they said there was still plenty of life in them.
I'm guessing they didn't top up the brake fluid when they flushed it.
