Bled the brake and "Brake" light comes on

[toovira]

95 Camry 5S-FE. I bled the brake and then the "Brake" light comes on. The reservoir is full and handbrake is down. I didn't even pull the handbrake when I bled it....and the light wasn't on before....so couldn't be a stuck switch. The owner and service manual say it's for either low fluid or handbrake warning. I disconnected the sensor and reconnected it....same result.

^^ you try inserting a paper clip into the connector where the caps fluid sensor plugs into? Either that or use an ohm meter to check the caps continuity.


EDIT: This is a non-ABS car (not XLE)


Also this is pretty darn funny: from the service manual page 83 BR.PDF

4. PERFORM TEST DRIVE
(a) Drive for at least 20 seconds at 30 Km/h (119 mph). {{ Which one should you believe???? Km/h or mph?
(b) The ABS warning light may not light.
If the ABS warning light lights, read the diagnostic
trouble code.

I guess took the cap off and put it back on again did the trick....odd.

Little note. For the gen 3... ABS was optional on all V6 engined cars. Couldn't get it on the 5s-fe and it wasn't standard on the XLE, surprisingly.
