Parking brake light flashing in dash. what does this mean?

Usually this means one of two things. Your parking brake is still applied and your shifter is not in park...or, your parking brake is not fully retracted and not touching it's fully retracted limit switch. Cycle your parking brake several times with the vehicle off. When you release it let it disengage fully. Start the vehicle and put it in gear but don't travel (foot on regular brake). If your parking brake is fully disengaged then your dash light for the parking brake should be extinguished. If you STILL have this problem then your limit switch needs to be adjusted or replaced.

Kia Sorento parking brake or brake fluid dash warning light - this light is illuminated when the park brake is applied, the warning light should go out when the parking brake is released. If the light does not go out it indicates that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low and you need to pull over and top up at your first opportunity.

1-check parking brakes not applied
2-check brake fluid
3-if it is too low have the brakes checked they might be wearing out it doesn't mean you have a leak but when the brakes wear out the become thin causing the caliber piston to push out more lowering the oil level in the reservoir

I am assuming you mean the red light on the dash that says "brakes".
That light is powered by the parking brake switch and the pressure switch for the hydraulic brakes. If the parking brake is on, or the brake fluid is low, the light comes on.

ABS light is on because brake light circuit is down. Did you replace the park lamp fuse? Check trailer light connector if you have one.

Look under the dash by the parking brake and try to see if any wires are being moved or chafed by the parking brake linkages. That is what I have found in the past.

This is the brake warning light........is it a red color......what it means is that

Get your brakes checked!

The red brake light on the dash serves two purposes: 1) to tell you the parking brake is set, and, if the parking brake is not set, then 2) to tell you that your brake system is not up to snuff--could be as simple as low brake fluid--could be something more serious.

Usually that means there is slack in the Parking brake cable. If you have an owners manual it should mention using the Parking brake.

On most cars if you back up and use the Parking brake several times it will tighten the cable and adjust those brakes.

There is a switch under the dash that makes contact with the cable assembly and when the cable has slack, the switch will not make contact like it should. Thats when the light comes on.

hi think its brake fluid warning light if it flashes if doesnt flas then it just parking brake indicator my i reckon it first one so check brake levels if necessary top up above minimum if not theres a fault either the light it self or braking system hope this helps
