Brake Warning Light on?

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. There is a float attached to the cap that raises and drops as the fluid level raises or drops in the reservoir. If the fluid level gets too low the brake warning light comes on. If the fluid level is low your brake pads may be worn or there may be a leak in the brake hydraulic system somewhere. Also check the brake light bulbs to ensure they are all lighting up. When the bulbs wear out the filiments inside will sometimes make contact correctly and sometimes not. Also check that a brake light illuminates when the parking brake is set. I mention all these due to there being more than one brake warning light on the car. Different lights for different problems.

After investigating that the fluid was fine and the pads appear to look good (I just had them replaced about 20K ago), I inspected the float attached to the brake fluid cap. Probably because the car is 10 years old, and the brake cap is the original, the float was sticking, causing the warning light to come on. Of course it was sticking during the morning when the engine was cold and as the engine warmed up, it would unstick. Bottom line, I replaced the cap and no more warning light. Thanks for the input.

Did it also turn off while braking, example like up to stop light, before it warmed up? I have the same issue with my 01 accord.

This car was recently purchased from a honda dealer.

Just recently the brake light on my dash has been coming on every once in awhile, I though it was that the emergany brake was engaged but it wasn't. The light will stay on for awhile then go out. Can you give me an idea on what to look for.

My other question is how do I reset the mat required light.
Thanks for your help in advance

My accord EX is in great shape for the most part but I am experiencing problems with the oil burning down quickly, usually about every 1000 miles I have to get it topped off with 3-4 quarts. Brakes were replaced only about a year and 25k miles ago. I also have the brake light coming on and off frequently based on whether I push the brake or not. But it will come and go regardless of that too.

I am experiencing a rumbling noise that fluctuates based on when im turning and how fast i'm going. It's slower when i'm driving slower and less noticeble and clanky when im driving faster. If I keep it absolutely straight it seems to quiet down. Obviously I dont know what it sounds like on the passenger side but on the driver side I can feel it vibrate through my pedals and it seems to come from the far left wheel.

I've read some info about it possibly being related to wheel bearings, CV joints, axel shafts and sychro bearing inside the transmission. Does any of this make sense, i'm not too clear on anything and just relaying information i've found.

Haven't taken it in yet because i'm afraid of what i'm going to find out. It's been doing this for a few weeks now.

My Honda accord runs great. One of my brakes light blew off. It ran fine. Quite recently, when I start the car, I don't see the brake light on the dash board as I should and it is very difficult to get from the Park mode into either the reverse or drive mode. My wife could not take it to church because it wouldn't shift from the park mode. What do I need to do?

Please help!

Just replaced front and back brakes and new brakeline within past year. One month after brakeline work, brake light comes on and fluid is below 1/2.

When I put my car in gear my brake light comes on in the cluster, olso when is in drive it does not change from first gear.

Recently replaced center mount bulb that was burned out. Failure warning on dash will not go out.

Red brake light on dashboard panel has come on and not turned off. I have made sure emergency brake is off. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Is it the sensor that says "brake lamp"? If it is, you just have a burned out brake light. I would recommend changing your bulbs. I just did mine on my 1994 Honda Accord. Ours are "double- contact" bulbs. It will still light up, but you will notice one or both might not flash when you step on the brakes.

To check, have someone stand at the back of the car to check the lights when you step on the brakes.

It probably the emergency brake thats wat was wrong with mine, try bumping it in see will it go off
