Brake Light comes on with launch

RandyD · 01-03-2013, 01:50 PM

anyone else see this happening?

when i launch hard, then when the RPMs come down at the end of say 4th gear... the brake light comes on

it goes away in about a second or so - but seems odd that it would come on at all...

Check your brake fluid. This usually means its low.

i had a c-clip on one of my stubs wear out and it would walk out of the case after a launch a bit to where all the abs and traction lights go on, but if its the brake light yeah check fluid not sure if there is anything else that might trip it, had a car once that would throw e-brake warnings on a launch or hard corner cuz the cable was stuck, guess it depends which light you have on.
