Alright I've been toying with this for a while before posting. I was havin a little fun one day, and took a right hand turn pretty hard. Around the apex of the turn i noticed the (BRAKE) light blink, not the orange pad wear indicator, the circular red one that comes on when your e-brake handle is up. So for the last coupla days i've been doin stuff to try and re-create that. I took a couple on/off ramps fast, made more turns fast, and other various trickery, and this is what i've come up with.

-Only happens on right hand turns, and only when turning hard
-The (BRAKE) light blinks just for a half a second or so, just enough to catch your eye

Is there a sensor startin to go or somethin? Its not a big deal i suppose, i'm just curious.

 

Interesting. Are you up on two wheels where the reservoir might read low?

 

Haha no. And I also made sure to hold the handle down, to rule out the handle moving around tripping the sensor. Anyway I thought the e-brake was a cable-driven setup?

 

mine did the same thing one day and my coolant did the same thing its simply because there isnt enough of fluit and it tells you that its low i would check everything when the car is standing still and off and cool

 

Personally, I wouldn't think it's a fluid issue. Or a sensor going bad. Do you know if your cable is nice and taught? Maybe when you're making the turn it's moving something down in your e-brake area just enough to think your handle is up. That's exactly how it is sounding to me. Good luck!

 

That's exactly what i was thinking. As the car rolls slightly in the turn it might pull the cable and make it think the e-brake is being applied

 

ahhh good call, that makes sense too because the handle is really easy to pull. (a little toooo easy ) i'll crawl under it in the morning and see if A) the e-brake cable is loose and B) i can tighten it. Thanks for the help guys!
