Emergency brake light comes on and off

check for loose switch at the hand brake pivot

The brake light will come on if your brake fluid level falls below a certain point, indicating you're losing brake fluid. Grinding noise indicates your brake pads are shot. Get to a brake shop.

This brake warning llight will come on if the brake fluid level in the master cylinder gets to low. Have you checked the fluid level?

it usually means you are low on break fluid...or the front pads are wore out and the master cylinder is low on fluid because the calipers are full of fluid an pushed out all the way because of worn out pads....I have also seen emergency brake stuck on one notch to activate light....check fluid level<check pads<chech e'brake....good luck...Lee

Typically if your brake light is on and there is nothing going on with the Ebrake, when the pads start to wear down, that can drop the fluid level and set off that light. You may need to just replace pads and possibly top off fluid. Hope this helps.

could mean your brake fluid is low, check your fluid and if you need to add fluid and see if the light still comes on. If it does inspect your break pads or check to see if emergency brake is on.

Hello... I would recommend checking for a frozen (stuck) rear brake, a mis-adjusted emergency brake light switch, a stuck or sticking parking brake cable or a mis-adjusted brake pedal rachet lock which is the locking mechanism that holds down the brake pedal. Remember it could be multiple problems.

Good Luck..

Make sure your emergency brake pedal is all the way up, because sometimes if it goes down one notch, that can trigger that light to come on..It wont be enough to drag or slow the sar down, but it will be enough to turn that light on...Also even though your brakes are good..double check your break fluid level...

The emergency brake light is also the low brake fluid warning light. Check the level in the reservoir. As the brake pads wear the fluid will drop, so if the brake fluid is low, check the pads to make sure the lining material is thick enough. If you have drums in the rear, check the wheel cylinders to make sure they aren't leaking. If everything checks out ok just add a little fluid to the reservoir and that should take care of the light.

check and make sure brake fluid is full, if so then the emergency brake has a switch on it that will make the brake light come on. to check this get in vehicle and push emergency brake then release it then take your hand and wiggle the emergency brake peddle and see if the light comes on and off. if so then the peddle is not comming all the way up against the switch this may be solved by just pulling up on the peddle each time the emergency brake is released,
