Brake Warning Light On!

khuuster · 01-09-2014, 04:18 PM

So my brake light has been on for about a year... thinking that when I had my rear brake pads + rotor replaced, the sensor was worn out. (sensor not changed out)

I recently just had my front brakes changed out + rotors + sensor. I asked them to check my (both front and rear) sensors. The shop says the error is not coming from my sensor. I'm not sure what else can trigger this light?

Anyone have an idea?

That light won't go away until you reset the warning.

You have to replace both the front and rear sensor then reset the brake light. For some reason the lights don't reset unless you do both

No ABS light right? Red "brake" light could also me brake system malfunction. Or you've been driving with your ebrake on :-P.
