Emergency Hand Brake Light And Traction Control Light Both On In Dashb

[MikeMiel]

Happened a few months ago. The lights both turned on and went away. Slowly came back, now there on all the time. They very rarely go away, but soon enough they come right back on and now there on almost all the time. Both the traction light and brake light. They use to come on one ata time and the traciton or brake light came on later on, but now they both are on almost all the time. Very weird. Thank You for all the help.

"TRAC" & " BRAKE" are related systems. Traction control system controls eng torque and rear wheel brakes so no fishtailing. So it not so weird that they both come on. check fluid level first. To check the codes: key to ON then use a paper clip to short terminals Tc and E1 of the Diagnostic connector on floor board(drivers). Count the Trac light; if there are codes it will flash in groups. Blink-blink- pause- blink=21 in between each code is a slightly longer pause. ignore codes 11&21 or a continous flash. to clear the codes short out same terminals and depress brake pedal 8 or more time in 3 seconds. drive and if light comes back recheck codes. Well that's for starters. Come back after you get that info.
