shicks Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Does anybody know what this means. This is a 98 ES300. I don't drive the car, this is what my mom tells me. Is there a brake pad wear sensor? or maybe low brake fluid? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve
lexusk8 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Are you talking about the red 'BRAKE' light keep going on and off irregularly? If so, you need to check the level of your brake fluid, or check the condition of the ABS sensor. The 'BRAKE' light has nothing to do with your brake pads.

steviej Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Add the proper brake fluid to the reservoir. Toyota and Lexus float switches are very sensitive and even though the fluid level may still be between the min and max lines, the level of the fluid can still trip the level switch thus triggering the BRAKE light. It has been this way for a long time. Very sensitve switches, especially when going around corners. steviej
ArmyofOne Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 mine goes away when i tap orhit the ebarke handle, should i be concerned?
steviej Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 the ebrake is also connected to the same light. Josh, sounds like you got a loose connection and or the cable is very tight on you ebrake. If the light is not on when the ebrake is off, I wouldn't be concerned. There is a way to loosen up the cable a little. steviej
