Like the title says, I've got another problem. Its the E-Brake light on the HUD that just stays on after I've put the handle down.
This just started yesterday after the lude sat out all night (its cold) and happened again today after sitting out while I was at work (its garage kept).

I know that the brakes aren't sticking because the car will roll down a hill and I can push it when its in neutral. Anybody know whats going on?

Thanks,
Scott

 

Do you have ample brake fluid in the reservoir?

You should see if your e-brake cable is tighten anyways. Doesn't hurt to try.

 

check your brake fluid. it might be low

^^^ yea what he said!

 

yeah check the fluids. let us know if that was it.

 

Brake fluid all the way. When its cold the fluids tend to shrink so to speak. So just pour some more in there and it will go off

 

Thanks for the help. I think I saw a thread about this floating around here somewhere.

 

Well, my fluid was full (I checked that when the problem first arised)
Its actually a problem; I pulled this from another site if anyone else is having this problem.

OK I looked it up and the is the jist of it.

Parts need to fix the problem.

Filter part #46666-S04-J02 List of $5.08

Float part #46662-S84-999 List of $1.92

Try that and it should fix the problem

 

Did you switch out the parts on this yet? did it work? let me know please..thanks

 

Failing that try lifting the centre console and spraying some WD-40 into the ebrake electrical contact switch, you might just have sticking contacts in the switch.
P.S. adjust it while you can get at the adjuster at same time.

whent its cold out, mine does the same. only when its cold outside tho, never on a normal day.

 

mine does it to, every winter. i believe it has to do with a malfunction of the sensor built into the reservoir cap. i just ignore it and it goes away once the car is warmed up.

 

damn same **** happened to me and then a day later the abs light went on....i rotated my wheels bc my dad said it might be the tire pressure...but it went away after like 2 days...how long has it been like that...???
