Hi,

The other morning my brake warning light came on for a few seconds then went off. It has continued to do this for the next few days. The light will go on a few seconds then turn off for awhile. The brake fluid is full a and the brakes are working fine. I'm not sure why if there was a problem the light wont stay on solid.

Good afternoon,

Do you mean the yellow ABS light that is on? That would be an indication of a fault in the ABS system. I would need the code to help narrow the area of failure.

If it is the red light, either the float level switch or the switch for the parking brake is the issue.
