Recently my brake light on the instrument cluster remains on after I release the parking brake. It first started doing this only when I cranked the car early in the morning and it was cold out. After driving for a while(30 minutes or so), the light went out. Now the light stays on everytime I crank the car, not just on cold mornings. If the light goes out and I brake semi-hard, it will come back on! My brake fluid is not low. Anybody else ever had this happen? Any input?

Front pads: Axxis Ultiminates
Rear pads: stock
Fluid: ATS Super Blue

The front pads were installed 3 months ago(~4000 miles) and the rear pads still had plenty of pad left at that time.
Thanks for any help!

Try changing the master cylinder cap. Worked for me.

 

Haha... I love seeing this question, its the most common bug in Integras. Its absolutely harmless.

I have had the same problem in my GS-R and now my Type-R. I learned about it when I brought my GS-R to the dealer like 3 times for it. They do the same things everytime. Replace master cylendar cap and refill fluid. It only fixes the problem for like a week or two then it does it again.

I think its just something that is wrong with the intergra and its harmless.

Just my .02c

 

I will replace the cap and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

 

my car is doing this exact thing right now... i'll be interested to see if that works (and only for a few weeks...)

 

The cap on my Type R has the level sensor wires attached to it. I wonder if they have cracked or gotten caught in the threads. I bet its a continuity problem with the sensor cables.

BTW - I know you don't want to hear this because you already said the level is good, but I would put the fluid level at very near max and see if that solves the problem. My light comes on when the fluid level is slightly above the min mark.
