sometimes.. Options

[nics]

when i brake hard, e-brake light comes on and goes back off when car weight shifts.

sometimes when the car shifts weight when changing from 1st to 2nd or in 2nd gear and releasing the gas pedal, it lights on too.

is this bad and how could i fix this? thanks

Did you ever get this figured out? I would've also said to check and make sure your brake fluid level is correct. Next step I'd take is to bleed the brake lines, make sure there's no air in them, and then add whatever amount to the fluid reservoir to make sure it's still correct. If that still doesn't resolve the issue, and your brake pads are good, I'd probably start considering any possible failure in the brake master cylinder.

not yet. ill try to bleed it over the weekend.

Man, that happens to me too. When I brake hard, the brake light comes on.

braking hard and shifting between 1-2-3 gear. i remember last year, this happened already until the e-brake light wont go off. then after driving in the rain, it went away which i find it weird.

We used to have a Ford Exploder that would display the E-Brake light if you slammed on the brakes. It had something to do with the ABS. Not a likely culprit in this instance since you said it comes on sometimes when you shift, but you never know. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in.

mine doesnt have an ABS. its something that triggers it when a lot of weight shifts to the front
