Does this happen to anyone else?

gtabaz · 10-15-2012, 03:46 AM

I'm just curious to know if this happens to anyone else or if it's just My car, Whenever im driving and i take off randomly my E-brake line will turn on like if i just pulled it up but i wont touch it. I have no idea why its doing that and it randomly started to do so, anybody have any ideas or thoughts of why that may be happening?

Um no, definitely take it to the dealer.

You may want to check the brake fluid

This will cause the brake light to come on also.

or the handbrake switch maybe at fault

Brake fluid level.

Another for brake fluid. This happens to me on the track when my brake pads get low. As they wear, the brake fold level drops and when it sloshes around in the turns the e-brake light starts coming on randomly. That's how I know it is time to take it easy so I have enough brake pad to get home.

if this is coupled with your vdc light coming on as well it is caused by your steering wheel position indicator needing to be reset...

have you removed the steering wheel or replaced it? this happened to mine when i installed a carbon wrapped one and just had the dealer reset it

I havent taken the steering wheel out at all. but im taking it to the dealer tomorrow to find out more on the subject, hopefully its just the brake fluids! thanks everyone.
