the problems on a 91 integra brakes pads are ok in front and back, fluid level ok and not long ago installed a new master cylinder.. whoever knows let me know.....

 

does it say brake or abs - brake is ebrake abs is brake probs

 

ebrake is down and i dont have abs

 

Check your brake fluid level.....again.

 

as far as i know the light on the gauge is only for the ebrake - anyone know better?

 

this happened to my 2000 gsr it's under warranty so i brought it to acura. They said it was the break light switch under the dash. has not come back since

that would be correct.

 

ive had it come on before because of low break fluid level. thats all i know it would be from.

not exactly it also comes on if the brake fluid level is low as others have stated.. check the fluid..

if everything is ok then maybe you didnt connect those wires on the cap of the master cylinder and now they are touching..

it must have to be lower than hell then. i have never had that light come on in any of my hondas except for when the e-brake was on. if i get a chance i will look in my helms because i'm not feelin that.

Yeah, it's true. E-brake light is the indicator for low brake fluid AND the E-brake being engaged. It doesn't have to be that low for it to come on.

 

well then i would say the concensus is that if the fliud is at the right level than its a wiring/switch issue, and not a brake problem

 

well the fluid is full im going to buy that switch tommorow to see if its that ....ill let u know what happens thanks....good looking out....

you better make sure the fluid level is full because apparently it doesn't have to be that low to trigger the sensor.

So unplug the wires at the fluid reservoir. If the light still comes on, then look elsewhere for the problem.

Same thing for the handbrake switch. It closes the circuit to light the light. That thing can get bent or something, so even when the lever is down, the switch is still closed. It might be as simple as bending the bracket back where it belongs.

 

are your calipers leaking?

 

I had the same problem after i changed out my brake bads and had to bleed the brake lines. Fill it up a little over the "high level" or wtfever it says, and you'll be good to go
