Brake Light On
I Noticed A Problem On My 2001 Tl A Brake Light Comes On When I Press The Brake Pedal While The Car Warms Up And It Stays On Till The Car Is Warm. Once The Car Is Warm The Light Goes Away. And This Happens Only When Its Really Cold Outside Or The Car Is Been Sitting Too Long And Temperatures Were Low Outside The Brake Light Bulbs Are Okay Brake Pads Are Kay The Fluid Level Is Okay.

You might have some moisture in the system somewhere that is getting frozen. This could be in the fluid reservoir or on the sensor for the warning light. If moisture is there, it can really damage your brake system, or much worse, your life or car or someone elses. I just paid like $50 bucks the last time my TL was in for service to have the brake fluid flushed and all the lines bled. If you can, do this. It will probably take your problem away, and may even give you better braking. Plus, it's probably time to do that anyway on an '01. I have low mileage for my '01 (43k) and the fluid was way dirty and needed changing. Good luck.

I too have the same issue...wouldnt call it a problem though. It will happen really when it gets 40 degrees F or below. It comes on pretty much when you push the brake in just a bit, and will go off soon after you let it up. and it seems once it gets warm (the fluid I guess) it doesnt happen.

I do not know about Canada. On my invoice it states, "installed updated brake fluid float and screen". Part numbers 46666-s04-j02 and 46662-s84-999. This all was covered by warranty. Hope this helps.
