Hey guys I'm pretty sure I remember reading about this before but I searched and can't find the thread!

Lately during heavy acceleration on first and second gear my Brake light comes on in the gages. I started noticing this after installing my Gen 3s but I'm not convinced they're related. Anyone know what the problem is?

interesting..how did you find out your brake light comes on under WOT?

Gazan37

Ohh my bad I meant the handbrake light. Located right under VDC off in the gauges. Noticed it again today while driving home. I don't know if its something to worry about.

Brake fluid low. top it off, problem solved.

I'm always confused why people don't understand brake fluid needs to be checked and the brake light means...check your brakes. Most manuals tell you this.

who reads manuals?

when at WOT, the brake fluid shifts back in the reservoir which could potentially uncover the level sensor.

I checked my fluid but its exactly half way between min and max... Should i top it off?

Yes, apparently that is considered low by the car itself. That's where mine was when I had the issue as well. Top it off.

Common problem. The brake light coming on is the car's way of telling you to slow down because you're going too fast
