Couple of days back the Brake Lamp on the instrument cluster started to stay lit. This is not the same Brake lamp which lights when the Parking Brake is applied.
Odyssey User manual says this lamp indicates a blown brake light bulb, but I found the brake lights to be working fine.
I am worried if this is a warning for some other hidden problem, please advise.

Hi there,

This may be a warning to check the brake fluid level, if low have it topped up and get the pads checked for wear, as the pads wear the fluid level will drop so you may be due for pads as well.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the response. I thought that should be the problem, but as I mentioned this light on the cluster is NOT the same as brake lamp which comes up when the Parking Brake is applied. Also the Odyssey manual mentions that this light should come up when one of the brake lights in the rear go out.
Anyways since you mention it I will have a look at the Brake fluid level.
