got a 01 CL-S and the word brake on my tachometer keeps coming on while im driving but the emergency brake is not on. what could be causing this and how can i fix this.

 

Doesn't it come on if a brake light is out. Sounds like maybe one is on its way out.

 

Either that or check your brake fluid level.

 

Something is wrong w/ the brake system... the warning light is there for a reason... better check it out...

 

mine comes on every day at first start up when engine is cold for about 15 min...then it goes off. i think its something with the float in the reservoir.

 

Mine used to come on randomly as well. I opened up the brake fluid reservoir and pushed the float that was inside up and down to make sure it wasn't stuck. I was going to change the reservoir cap which has a sensor and before mentioned float as other members have done. However The light stopped coming on for no reason after tinkering with it . So I left it alone. If you do decide to change the cap sensor it's around twenty dollars I believe.

 

Happened to me too. I'd jus tap the e-brake (don't push it too far while driving. DUH!) and it would go off. Sensor was most likely bad since I just did a brake fluid flush/refill/bleed and it would come on randomly when I hit bumps in the road.

 

Sweeeet. I love brake systems. Always a mess to clean and fix.

 

I had the same problem with my brake light. It would turn off after 15 minutes or so. I ended up bleeding the brake system and replacing the fluid, worked like a champ for me. The light now only comes on when the E-brake is on.
