Hello all,
another newb here.
I did a search and found nothing. My break check light keeps coming on. any ideas?

Elton

is it the one for the e-brake ?

SnoViking

check your fluid level... mine is very sensitive.. it loooks good but it still sets off the light

Deathmage

yes.. it happens all the time, when i'm driving around.

Elton

if its that one then i think you have to adjust it

Like SnoViking said check the fluid level first, make sure it's at the Max line. Both my 4Runners have had a very sensitive light when the level gets down even a little bit.

Man there was an almost identicle thread up about this less than a week ago. Search maybe broken. Hmm..

Godzilla

The toyota mechanic said to fill up the resevoir just above the max line since he said the sensors are very sensitive and picky.

eric-the-red

Seems to come up on a weekly basis, maybe it should be a sticky, in big capital letters

ASU4runner

Yeah, might not be a bad idea.

Ditto on the sensitive sensor and filling up to and a tad above the full line. It typically begins to show up in cooler weather when the fluid level drops slightly.

Nah, search works... But having a good sense of spelling helps.

"break light" and "brake light" return two different sets of answers.

Deathmage

man, I can't believe I overlooked, checking the break fluid. I always have to think so complicated. Anyways thanks for the input, and I'll be refilling it this weekend. Yeah, my bad on the spelling error. sorry about that.

Deathmage

I replaced the break fluid at lunch and it fixed the problem. Thanks all.

tc

...and yet you STILL spelled it wrong!

Deathmage

yes, I'll try to spell brake lights correctly next time I'm just glad my break light problem has been solved
