Answer

Hello XXXXXXXX, this light will illuminate and give you an audible warning anytime there is a problem with the brake system. If the brake fluid is full and the parking brake is not applied then there may be another brake issue starting.

I just replaced the front brakes 3 months ago. There's no squealing in the rear. What other problems might I be looking for?

Accepted Answer

It is possible that you have a defective parking brake sensor or a bad fluid level sensor. Sometimes if you tap on the side of the master cylinder reservoir it will come loose. Otherwise it may detecting a low pressure problem or an electrical fault.
