Since 2-3 days, my parking brake light is always "on" in my dashboard, and I've checked the handbrake, the little white switch that is near and both is ok, but I've check for voltage in the purple/white wire and nothing. And each time that I'm driving my car and then I come to a stop, it disappear ,and come back few second after that I press the gas pedal.


Any help will be appreciated,thanks..

Is it just the red light that says "BRAKE" and has those two symbols under it? That's not only the parking brake light, but also the trouble code light for the braking system itself. It may be picking up an error in one of the ABS sensors (if equipped) that can only be noticed by the ABS controller while rolling. Or something else in the braking system the computer is picking up as 'out of range'.

I don't have ABS.. and yes it's that light.. I've just put my summer wheels on i ,so could it be a reason? if my rear brake are dead, could it be a reason?? Because my rear brakes do some noise these past few days..

could be the fluid level in the resiviour...typically when it is low though, unless you have a leak, means it is time to service the brakes. as pads wear, more fluid is left in the caliper/drum cylinder and less in the resivior. check out all your pads and stuff
