Hey guys I have a 05 tl here's my problem. The "brake" light is on for some strange reason, not to be confused with the "brake lamp" light. I've checked the fluid in the MC and it's full, I've checked the E-brake switch and it's working properly. The car had new front and rear rotors, pads, and ss brake lines. I bled all lines according to acura's sequence. I've also replaced the 2 front wheel sensors! Any idea on how I can read this code or figure out what's wrong?

try to get it on a HDS to see if there is any code pop up, normally that light mean your ebrake is engage

Sorry what exactly is a hds? The ebrake isn't engaged because if it were when I start driving the "release brake" pops up, and it doesn't . When it is engaged and I drive the "release brake" does pop up on the MID

My thought is to recheck the connections on all the wheel sensors.

Could be the brake fluid level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir cap.

If the sensor failed it may be trying to tell you that your brake fluid is low, even if it is at the right level.

Well I haven't changed the rear wheel sensors, do you think that a wheel sensor would make this light go on?

UA7X

It probably would but if a wheel speed sensor was bad it would probably turn on the vsa light too.. Is it just the brake light on or are any other lights on?

csmeance

a wheel speed sensor would also trigger the VSA light on since the car doesn't know the wheel speed. Go to a shop with a code reader and try to get the code read. That will be the easiest way to narrow down the issue rather than throw parts at the problem.

Sorry I re-read my other post, I meant the brake fluid level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir (it's not in the cap)

FastGuy

For anu one wondering , it was my front right wheel senor wasn't reading .. I believe the wheel bearing went bad causing it not to read. I purchased a complete spindle from the junk yard installed it and poof the brake light turned off

Thanks for the follow-up and results! seems like most times people have issues and they get lots of suggested repairs and then we never hear back from them lol.
