Default Brake Warning Light

Has anyone had the problem of the e brake light blinking on when cornering hard? At times, the harder the cornering, the longer it stays on...I hope its not a major problem...thanks and let me know

check the brake fluid level & also check the brake pads.

Brake fluid.

That light comes on for two reasons -- e-brake activated and low brake fluid. If it only comes on while you are cornering, that means the brake fluid must be sloshing around a bit.

But don't just add brake fluid! Find out why the brake fluid is low. It is probably because your brake pads are worn down. Check the pads to see if they should be replaced, and check the fluid level.

And do it soon!

If low fluid isn't due to worn pads (the most likely reason), make CERTAIN that you have the braking system thoroughly inspected for leaks and determine the cause for the low fluid.
