The brake lamp is actually an indicator of the brake fluid level in the reservoir. So that means it is low for a reason due to this being a sealed system. This means it either has a leak or the brake pads are getting worn and it takes more brake fluid to extend the piston in the calipers to apply the brakes. Here is a guide that covers this in a little more detail but I would start with removing the wheels and inspect the pads for needing to be replaced. Review this and let me know what questions you have.

This is extremely helpful. I know the pads are getting worn, they've been making noise for a week now. I'll check everything and do a brake job this week. Thank you Was this answer helpful?YesNo Tuesday, April 28th, 2020 AT 2:49 PM Tiny KASEKENNY
