TRAC OFF and BRAKE dash lights...

TRAC OFF and BRAKE dash lights...

Postby offthahook » Wed Nov 03, 2004 5:28 pm

Yeah. The brake light somes on sometimes. Fluid is FULL. Thing is, the damn thing comes on RIGHT after I start the car, even before I hit the brake. Can these sensors detect pad wear? It's not the park brake for sure. It goes off a lot of the time, too. The Hell?
The other day I'm driving and it's raining HARD. All of a sudden, the TRAC OFF light comes on (TRAC was on, though). I could give a damn about traction control, bt why would the lightsayinf it's OFF come on when TRAC is truly on?? Any ideas?

it can be your brakes, inspect them.

the parking brake and rear brake are 2 different brakes.

Check the brake fluid level sensor in the resevoir cup.

More than likely, the front pads are worn out. I had a similar situation on a Chrysler some years back, with the TRAC light flickering and the BRAKE light staying on. Turned out to be the front pads, even though they were not making the tell-tale squeal...

a few things:
1. i'd suggest you try with some fresh brake fluid. suck out the old one to the best of your ability and pour in some fresh fluid
2. get your brakes inspected.
