    Default e-brake light

    hey for some reason when i apply the foot brake on my car the ebrake light turns on. it started only when i applied the brakes hard but now it seems like it happens more and more ? any suggestions? im assuming this wouldnt just happen to mr2's?

    Sometimes the E-brake light is actually a warning light for the whole braking system. It may not be this way for MR2's but check your fluid level anyway.

    Makes sense, vacuum leak could cause your vacuum boosted brakes to not be as effective.

    Do you notice poor brake performance? Check the brake booster tube.

    check your brake fluid levels and see if you can see how much pad is left on your brakes. i had this same thing on my camry, corolla and mr2. usually means low fluid.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.

    When my ebrake cables seized on over winter the ABS light came on even though the handle was released. I know your not getting the ABS light but you might want to check your cables any ways.
