Default Brake Light on Dashboard?

Hi everyone,

My wife drives a 2002 Accord EX. The "brake indicator" on the dashboard recently started coming on occasionally; it will then eventually turn off. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to when it turns on or off.

I took the car into the mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong with the brake system.

Any thoughts? Should we be concerned about the brake system, or is it most likely a sensor error.

- John

welcome to the forum. check the fluid level in the resovoir, check all the brake light bulbs for good clean connections.

This is your fluid level is low. I had the same problem in my 98 accord and wondered what is was and i noticed that when i sometimes braked hard the light would turn off. i had it on for a few months and finally added some more fluid it turned off and i haven't had a problem with it since. hope this fixes your issues
