ever since i changed the FRONT brake pads.. my ebrake light would come on.. even if it wasnt engaged..

sometimes it wont come on.. sometimes itll come on only after driving alittle..

the ebrake itself still feels tight, and works good.. not like the cable is loose. not sure what happened..

is this a common problem in ITRs?

btw i have a 2000

Check your fluid level.

 

I believe this issue is common with Type R's and it usually hits the board when the temperature drops. Try searching and I know you will find some more info on this topic......

 

add fluid.

 

thanks.. ill check out the fluid level..

you guys rock

mines been doing it all winter. I guess what would explain it

 

This can also be the guage in the brake fluid reservoir. I think the floatation material looses its "floatiness" after awhile.

 

Another point to note is the float sensor. Sometimes it get's stuck. Jiggle it a bit if the fluid level is ever on par and you still get the light.

 

thanks ill check both today..

i did notice that on the way home, the light was on, but after it warmed up and i pushed the car more, the light went off

 

checked the brake fluid.. looks alittle low, so thats probably what it is.. ill change it tomorrow sometime.

thanks everyone

 

sorry.. thats what i meant lol
