Brake light comes on and off

The handle switch is not fully disengaging should be an adjustment tward rear of handle under rubber cover,check YouTube

The cable tightness is loose therefore causing the light to come on while driving, tighten or replace the eb cable hope that helps or you need to push in the button on it hold the button and pull it back as far as you can. let go then push button pull back farther and release, this should tighten the tension.

Everything is check the light stays on can it be the switch on the handbrake lever

I think it means the Antilock Brake System is disengaged. So, a code has been stored in the abs computer. Standard obd tester cannot check these codes, must visit your dealer or some autoshop with ABS reader.

According with the service manual: During starting the RED brake light should briefly come on and then go off. If the RED light stays on, it indicates a problem in the main braking system, such as a low fluid level, or the parking brake is still on.

Hope helps (remember to rate and comment this).

Emergency cable might be sticking and engaged a little to trigger the brake light.

Have you checked the brake fluid level?

check the switch on the emergency brake pedal may need an adjustment or may need to be replaced

Either the peddle is not going up fully to meet the switch that turns the light off or the switch may be loose or faulty

Check the E-Brake, make sure that the ebrake is not engaged and that it is fully disengaging. If that is not the problem, then there is something with the brake calipers or rotors that are not allowing your brakes to fully disengage

Hi,

Offhand, the brake light warning on most dashboards would indicate that the hand/emergency brake is engaged. If even when the hand/emergency brake is disengaged or is in normal position and the light is still lit, it could indicate that:

• the brake fluid in the reservoir is below minimum level;
• and possibly the brake shoes/pads need replacement.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
