e-brake light coming on - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

my e-brake light keeps coming on in my '93 wagon and i was wondering what could be causing it to go on and off. it usually happens at certain braking points and quick accelerations.

your brake hose could be broken. i wouldnt suggest riding around to much like that. it happened to me. not to difficult to change. JUST DONT TRY DUCT TAPE!! lol.

If its not the fluid level it could be moisture bridging the lead for the warning light.

Check the switch at the base of your e-brake handle - mine was getting stuck in the 'brake on' position, giving me the false lighting indicator.

btw my brake light appears as soon as I push on the brake pedal and then stays on. It' is full of fluid though. any ideas ?

do what ever is mentioned above, if all else fails, the sensor is probably getting ground from something.
