Parkbrake light coming on under hard acceleration.

Chucky · 29-06-2011, 10:35 PM

See title, any hard acceleration or revving about 5k seems to activate the park brake light on the dash.

Doesnt seem serious. Just annoying.

Any ideas? Loose wiring loom maybe, if so, where would I find the loom to check?

your low on brake fluid the sensor in the main resivour is coming on when all the fluid goes back due to your massive excelleration. Top it up - never come back but do question if you have small leak.

They the system is desgined it should only go donw between full and min - between bad changes. As the pad gets low more fluid is used to fill the void.

yup agreed low brake fluid.

check clutch master as this is the most likely place for a leak. look under steering wheel where clutch pedel is for fluid/rust.

Brake fluid can be low either because you have a leak or brake pads are low.
