Ques. about brake warning light flashing on....

[rocktown]

Just migrated over here from yotatech, guess i was straggling a little. Anyways, sometimes in the morning when i accelerate rapidly, i'll notice the brake warning light (aka ebrake light) flash on for a couple of seconds and then go off. Doesn't seem like it's a big deal, just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this. Although i don't think it's a big problem, let me know if you think otherwise, and if you have a resolution for that. Thanks for the help, Joe

check your brake fluid level, if it's low that will happen

And it might not look low, but it needs to be at the very top of the level mark.

thanks for the responses, i will check that asap. IIRC, the level is probably closer to the midpoint between the min and max. I will top it off and see if it goes away

When the brake light flickers like that, low fluid is definately the most common cause.
Don't worry too much about going above the full line if it keeps the light off.

Yep, happened to me before too.

Same here. Its amazing how being only a hair under the full line will cause it.
