Brake Light Comes On While Driving. How To Fix Parking Brake Light Staying On.

[@shermanmatasher]

It has been a week since My brake light came on I couldn't understand but I watch your video. I just pressed the button and it went off. Thank you!.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!

[@GisborneDAVE]

Awesome thanks. My 2010 Subaru Legacy has had its park brake light intermittently come on and now it stays on. I checked the brake reservoir and it was surprisingly low. Something that I never check as they never seem to fluctuate apart from now. Many thanks for the pointer.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You got it! I’m glad it helped!

[@luckykoolkatasime5505]

Am really greatful for this video. I was working but, felt very uncomfortable seeing the break light come up. So i had to close and my house is far. Then i came online watched your video and realized it was my hang break that was raised up

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!

[@ronhudnall3522]

It might just need to be filled a little more above the max line. I saw it was a common Toyota problem and definitely fixed my 2001 Solara!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s good to know! I appreciate that!

[@Tera_sandhu]

I got a corolla 2009 and this sign popped up today ?

[@RG769]

Thanks for the video my wife s car fluid was low but main reason was the parking brake she had pushed w o realizing it!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You are welcome! Glad it could help.

[@trainingwheelsdetroit]

Hi Allan! Thanks for this video. I needed brake fluid in my Hyundai Elantra. Once I put it in the parking brake indicator light went off. Thanks again 🙏🏾

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!

[@Blenif]

My Hyundai is doing the same thing and reading this is making me consider doing the same thing. Hopefully it goes well

[@trainingwheelsdetroit]

@@Blenif it worked for mine. That light hasn’t been on since

[@danielbuhler9422]

The break fluid was low!! I can’t believe it, thanks for saving me a trip to the dealership!!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You got it! I’m glad it helped!

[@johnrieth9728]

I tripped in a bit of fluid and problem solved. Thank you!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@Coco_yourfriend]

Worked perfect, don’t know why I didn’t think of this. 🤦‍♂️lol

[@nehemiaharcher7327]

I just checked mine and the float itself was stuck! I stuck a screw driver in there and jiggled it free and it fixed it after filling it up the the max. maybe try that.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Yeah that’s a good call. I’ll have to make sure it’s not stuck. Thanks

[@innocentperete1806]

Very helpful. The brake fluid was low in my car

[@TryThisDIYFix]

I’m glad it helped!

[@JasonHolmes-l6t]

Thanks that was my problem that was great information the break fluids was low

[@TryThisDIYFix]

I’m glad it helped!

[@annamariagonzalez6124]

I will check that fluid in the morning thanks

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Nice. Yeah. Let me know how it goes.

[@annamariagonzalez6124]

No so my brake fluid was good. I guess the brake line has to be changed

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@annamariagonzalez6124 hmmm. Maybe so. It’s definitely something you want to check out.

[@micalebgoeswest]

The random dash brake light coming on is one my biggest pet peeves. Great idea for a video and great tip!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Thank you! And same here!

[@er7586]

Mine stays on all the time now. I'll fix it by covering the dash brake light with black tape. 🤫

[@stephenwright9469]

Thanks this was really helpful. I just put new brakes and a master cylinder in a few months back. I’m like there’s no way the brakes are bad.😂😂😂 just accidentally bumped the parking brake

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Haha. You got it! Yes that has happened a few times to some of my cars in the past. Feel free to subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks.

[@t3o352]

😂

[@Critter0817]

Thank you. I haven't checked yet but I did replace all the brake on my $300 suzuki myself so this is very possible

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hey that’s a good call as well though!

[@official4ktrey77]

I have a Suzuki 2012 LE, this just became a recent problem. I’m still tryna finger out what’s wrong with it. It’ll pop on, then turn off. This all happens while I’m driving

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@official4ktrey77 did you check the brake fluid? There could also be something wrong in your container as well.

[@official4ktrey77]

@@TryThisDIYFix the brake fluid reservoir, should be good. Unless there’s a possible leak. But I have been around my car looking under the hood a couple times, and didn’t see anything out of the unordinary. Talked to my stepdad. He said just put the parking break up, put the car and gear and shake it a couple of time and it’ll probably stop. But if that doesn’t happen it could be a possible low brake fluid

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@official4ktrey77 yeah that’s a good call! Let me know if that works!

[@ME-ot2ce]

Also just for some more information, filling up brake fluid in the reservoir is not needed because It doesn't burn like oil so it will always be there... ... just like transmission fluid, power steering... Unless of course there's leaks in the system.... when the brake fluid gets low that's just an indicator that the calipers go in etc..when thr pads get low... and when new pads are put on the calipers.. the calipers are depressed from the Piston the brake fluid will go back up through the lines to the master cylinder.... so if there is extra fluid in there it will pour out of the master cylinder spilling in the engine bay.. if the tops off when doing a breal job.... and if it's not it will cause pressure and it could even crack a plastic master cylinder...etc.. because with the extra fluid it has to go out...... so that that would mean that low brake fluid is just your pads are getting low.. it can't be recommended to put fresh brake fluid in there once twice a year but really 4,5, 6 years cars have been running with the same brake fluid.... thanks for sharing your video.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s good to know. Thank you!

[@pabloponce7641]

Brake fluid is low? You need to replace brakes or possible leak.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Yeah. It’s a leak. I’ve had the breaks checked.

I have a 2020 RF GT and when I make a turn, on the dash the red brake light comes on for like a second, it's done this once in a while..

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmm. It could be pinching some sensor when you make a turn or the sensor is tripped when the liquid moves on turns. But if you’ve checked it and it’s good you should be fine.

[@mohamadqawa]

Thank you 🙏

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You are welcome! I’m glad it worked!

[@SimaugaMaleleSausau-bg8gr]

Yeah, tired of being buy oil fluids everytime when light appears, but just 1-2 days for bottle of brake fluid, then buy another 1..Any help please

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmmm. You might have a leak in a break line somewhere.

[@chuckcawthon3370]

Today on the highway a vehicle abruptly cut in front of me, I hit my brakes hard to prevent contact and the red light momentarily came on, shortly afterward another hard braking event was necessary- again the light came on for an instant. Fluid reservoir is full. Perplexed, help if you can.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@chuckcawthon3370 hmm. You could be triggering a sensor, or the parking break.

[@adamwalling8710]

Could it be the brake pads need replacing because my light is on and I don’t know why

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Might be. I know for mine, there is a slight leak in the break line somewhere but it’s not bad enough for me to fix it just yet.

[@er7586]

I have a 2001 tacoma and mine comes on when i brake hard or theres bumps or dips. Fluid is full.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmmm. That could be the sensor just tripping since it’s getting old.

[@er7586]

@TryThisDIYFix thank you!! Now it just stays on! Lol. I appreciate you responding. I'll subscribe to demonstrate my gratitude.

[@steverichdrummr]

It's irresponsible to tell people to add brake fluid, without telling them to have someone find the leak. You should almost never have to add fluid, unless there is a dangerous problem. The system is designed to have the level stay between the marks, even after the brakes are worn, lowering the reservoir level. You fix the brakes, not add fluid, imho.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@steverichdrummr yes you are right. I thought I recommended checking the brakes if it continues.

[@billylittleton3395]

Our light comes on put on Brake no Brakes hit a pole to get it to stop

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You hit a pole?

[@Turbo.g]

Didn't help, mine has been on for months now, but my brakes and the parking brake works!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmmm. Have you gotten it checked by a mechanic? It could be a different issue.

[@Turbo.g]

@@TryThisDIYFix I've had multiple people look into it, I was thinking it could've been my parking brake switch or something because it's doesn't register on the dash that the parking brake is down and my parking brake is in the center console

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@Turbo.g hmm. Yeah that is weird. Sometimes they get stuck so I’m not sure. I’m glad it’s nothing major though!

[@Turbo.g]

@@TryThisDIYFix I know right

[@l2ikardo]

Same thing with my 4th gen. There is a procedure to test the brake fluid sensor. If it's at its full capacity, the sensor should give you from 1.8k ohms to 2.18k ohms

[@KarenSmith-pn5ed]

Thanks need to know info!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You got it!

[@Civilizationbob]

This video is a long drawn-out way to suggest that we should check our brake fluid after releasing our parking break. Check and check.

You are correct. I hope it helped.
