Handbrake warning light - intermittent issue

Post by marktjm3 » Sun Jan 29, 2023 11:26 pm

Hi all

Great advice here so far!

Any thoughts on this one

Occasionally, the handbrake/brake warning lights stay on when I start the car

No other issues, but don't go off.

Stop and restart - it disappears.

Recently had new disks and pads.

I guess the big question is whether this is indicating a potential problem, and if there uis preventative action I should take,

It would be go to know the exact lights but it sounds like your pressure sensors are getting tired.
Simple enough fix if that’s the issue. You’ll need the codes to be sure.
