Low brake fluid, pads worn down, other problems.
no for sure not
Check the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment and see if it's low If you are talking about the "Brake" indicator on your dashboard, it could be that your brake pads are worn and need replacement. My daughter had that issue on her 1999 Ford Explorer. After I replaced some very worn brake pads, she told me that the brake light issue went away. Hope this info helps.
Check your car handbook about the brake lights which should light up on the dashboard if the brake pads are worn. If the brakes are noisy and screeching it may suggest worn out pads. You will have to jack up the car and take the wheels off to inspect the brake pads to see if they are worn out.
Check your front pads and your rear shoes,they may be worn out. But there is a problem in the brake sysyem somewhere.
It could be the brake pad "squealers". Many brake pads come with a device that will squeal when the pads are worn down and ready for replacement.
Typically, worn brake pads won't cause the warning light to come on. Some vehicles have a brake fluid sensor that can cause the light to come on. Also make sure the parking brake is completely releasing and if you have ABS, make sure everything is working there. Uneven brake pressure will certainly cause the brake light to come on, that's when the master cylinder is working a lot harder for one circuit (front or back) than it is for the other, indicating either low brake fluid level or damaged/worn wheel cylinders. If you can't find anything by examining the brakes, you may need to pay for a scan of the ABS computer.
your brake pads are worn or there is trouble with the sensor for them.
Need brake job. Pads badly worn.
Probably a problem with the braking system -- low fluid, pads worn etc. Get it seen to without delay.
This indicates the front brake pads are worn.
Worn brake pads can cause the brake light to blink on the dash in a 1993 GMC Sierra 1500. This can also be caused by a faulty light.
