E-Break light coming on? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MatthewFRS · 04-11-2017, 10:52 PM

Hey guys, so I was driving earlier and I had to come to a quick stop to turn because someone was giving me bad directions, not gonna name names.... but anyway, while braking my ebrake light turned on. I've never seen it before I was just wondering if it's normal. I have an automatic 13' FRS. Thank you!

Check Brake fluid level the light may be dual purpose brake fluid level and also E brake off switch.

The parking brake light comes on even when the parking brake is not applied if you are low on fluid. Start thre.

I did but people are more then likely to try something when multiple people recommend it. Thats my experience with forums anyways.

Well now, that is sometimes true ....... however, @steve99 had done spoke and when folks see the "picture of the ocean" ...... they listen up and heed.

It's a slow day, here in Puyallup - it's spring break and all three granddaughters are here for all day ...... "one needs ah spankin, one needs ah huggen and the 9 month old needs a diaper change" ---- and ma-ma is in the shower ........

E-brake light came on during braking for me every time my pads were worn down below 30% or so. Im willing to bet its the same for you. I've gone thru near 6 sets of front pads, light comes on every time without fail when they were down and due to replacement.

First thing I'd do is to check the E to see if in fact you did break it.
