got a 2003 V6 EX accord and the the ebrake and TCS light recently turned on and it wont turn off. The rear pads are 4 months old. I changed the front ones today because they looked a little low, but not even near the wear indicator. I also checked the e-brake switch under the handle to make sure that wasnt broken. And finally I checked the fluid which is right at the top of the full mark. Yet the darn light stays on. I even pulled my negitive and reset the ECU and still its on. All wheel sensors are in place. What could be causing this? I also used one of those obdII ecu readers and it said I have no codes? But someone mentioned to me that I need a different code reading tool?


The ebrake will stay light up upon startup. Within 1 minute, the TCS light comes on. What the heck is wrong with my car?


Thank you in advance!

Just something I would check out. Jack up the rear and check to see if the ebrake is dragging. It may not be fully releasing. Don't know if this could also cause the TCS light to come on, but I guess it is possible. Good luck, finding the problem.

 

you may have bad fluid level switch.. unplug it from the master and see if the brake light goes off.
If not you will need to take it by a dealer and have them pull the codes for you

 

Thanks for the reply. How do I c heck for dragging? I know how to change pads. But Im not sure I understand how to check for dragging. Would you please be so kind to educate me a little more?


Thank you,
Ram

 

So unplug any power wire going into the m/c? If brake light goes off, then thats good. If not, take it in?


Thanks,
Ram.
