TroyButler Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Hello, Last night/today i decided to install my SF rear lift spacers (will be doing front soon) and today had to replace my front caliper due to the old one being seized. I replaced both sets of pads and bled the brakes. Fluid is all topped up and the pedal builds up pressure and does stop the car fine. Slight rubbing sound from passenger side brake but thats all. Any ideas as to why my brake light may be on? did i do something wrong in the front or bump something in the rear i should check? Thank you Edited June 30, 2019 by TroyButler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) did you get air in the abs module? I believe this is similar to what happened with @hawairish Edited June 30, 2019 by Astrorami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once, my partner said the pedal went soft a couple times and i added fluid to fix it Edit: wouldn't that throw and ABS light then not (E)brake?

Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Could possibly have air in the module. Easy way to fix is with an obd computer that will actuate abs system. Edit: you may be correct about abs light. I read it wrong initially. The only time I've had a BRAKE light was when my pads were near gone and fluid was low.

I have no experience with the load sensing valve (LSV). You may have to bleed that if you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyButler Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Sometimes i forget the age of these vehicles. this may not apply to everyone if they have this problem, but for me, when the fluid went low i assume it sucked the level sensor float with it and it got stuck to the bottom, so i just unplugged the sensor and gave a "technical tap" with a screw driver to the reservoir, and after just turning the vehicle back on the light is currently off. Will update if it comes back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
