ABS and Park Brake light on
- Thread starter dharman
- Start date
Brake pads are low and/or brake fluid is low.
Check the pads first, rotor thickness 2nd and inspect for any leaks.

ive got this problem too but if i restart the car...everything go back to normal after a matter of minutes
ive done the DRL/fog light mod so ive wired together 2 wires that concern the parking light and abs so ive check the connection and everything is good.. so this is ok but ive noticed that at high speed if I slam the brakes hard theres a "jog" kinda thing and in town when I apply the brakes theres a kwikee noise maybe brake pads are worn? and ive check the brake fluid level and everything is ok no leaking at all
i hate modern cars for that....freaking check lights everwhere anytime(gun)

nice whip kz9
I've had that prob too. light didn't come on until I hit the brakes. then I noticed that if I hit the brakes hard enough, there'd be this clicking thing that seems to hit the brake pedal up kinda forcing you off the brake pedal. any one know what that was about? I almost had crazy accidents because of it. I fishtailed once trying to avoid an accident.
but I took car to dealership, they said I had about a week of city driving left in the brake pads. so I changed them and light is off. I gotta get new rotors tho (4 yrs and never replaced). btw, that clicking thing in the brake pedal even after I had the brake pads and fluid (or so I'm told) replaced. why? btw, I do have ABS

found what it got (half of it)
did the fog/drl mod and 2 wires where not well connected..but there is a sound from the rear brakes...the guy who had the car before me changed the calipers the discs and the pads at the rear and i think he did not remove all the scrap from the hub and they put the discs rght on the scrap so its shaking when I apply the brakes....worse on highway speeds anyway it brakes good no problem with that and the pads are like new ill be doing a full check next week (vacation time!) (headbang)

I took my car in last week for the very same issue.
My brake pads are down to 3 mm (WHOOPS!!), as well as a broken Wheel Speed Sensor. The dealership said they wanted to change the pads and turn the rotors for $130 in the front and $130 in the rear. TURN ROTORS!? Waste of money, if you ask me. I'll take my car to my buddy's house this weekend for the pads and just get new rotors when I need to.
I know there could be an issue with uneven wearing, but I really don't think it'll be a major one. It seems to me that they just want to turn the rotors because it's a time-intensive process that they can charge me up the arse for labor.
As far as the clicking in the pedals... I'm fairly certain that's just your ABS freaking out (possibly due to a broken sensor), because mine will do that to from time to time. Basically... if the light isn't on, and I get on the brakes hard enough... they click like that and then the light comes on, and it basically shuts down the ABS. It's basically over-acting, as far as I can tell.
It's the same thing it does when you're trying to stop on ice. It's kicking the anti-locks on when they really don't need to be on. Which is basically the reason that I don't care for ABS... Less control, essentially.
That was a long post. Hope it was midly helpful.

I knew my brakes were going soon, so i ordered 4 brembo blanks, pbr pads and ss braided lines to do the job. I was hoping i would have time to have the rotors cryogenically treated but it looks like i'll be installing them as soon as they get here.
This week both parking brake an abs light came on; i assumed that meant that the pads were worn and that since the fluid level drops as the pistons sit farther out of the calipers.
Yesterday i was driving slowly and just coasting on the brakes to come to a lazy stop and the ABS kicked in a little at the beginning of braking a couple of times. This got me a little concerned so i pulled the abs fuse out of there roadside. No faulty ass abs is going to cause me to rear end some vehicle or plow straight out of a corner(gun)
Screw ABS, i never liked it anyway. I think i will be removing the ABS light sooner than putting the fuse back in.
But is this just a "warning" from my brake system or does this mean my sensors are toast? Hope my calipers are ok i don't need that expense and agravation...

I still don't feel educated enough to figure out when my brake parts need replacing or how much life is left on them. No symptoms yet, but are symptoms a sign of "too late?"
