brake engaged while driving

street2soul · 03-27-2015, 08:36 PM

i just had brake fluid flushed and bled with RBF600 twice from a mechanic to make sure there were no air bubbles. Also got carbotech pads installed.

now the brake light is engaged while i'm not pressing on the brake, and i have to force the brake pedal outward to get the brake light turn off. i think the pedal is not coming all the way out to touch the switch.

Is there a way to adjust the brake pedal to engage/disengage the brake switch properly?

like i mentioned, the brake fluid were bled multiple times

What does your brake fluid level look like. It should be above max. The fill level sensor will trip if the level is between min and max. Also, the ECU will cut throttle to about 25% if the gas and brake are pressed at the same time. You would notice this if the brakes were actually dragging.
