So earlier today I was comming home taking a narrow, winding road and a coyote pops out a bit of a distance ahead. Im going downhill mind you. I don't slam on my brakes but I do apply a bit of preassure. well the coyote clears the road and as I relieve the brake peddle I noticed my brake light was turned on. The same brake light the comes on when my parking brake is up. I don't know if my car has ABS because the indicator where its at never lights up when I start my car but is this normal? Ive slammed my brakes a few times but never noticed the brake light turn on?

Don't just fill it up, check your brake pads if they are thick enough. If that's ok check for any leaks. But i think that your brake pads are just worn out. |

[/quote] X2 its more than possible that your brakes are getting a lil low, and when you went dwn that hill the brake fluid sloshed around a bit alowing the sensor to trip the light. -------------------- Lift Addict!! ^_^

Hey to tell if you have ABS the indicator is on the right side where your fuel gauge is to see it use a flashlight if at night but during the day you can actually see it. Hey let us know if you have or not??
