Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / December 20042002 PTC Emergency Brake Light flashes on Acceleration
I have noticed in about the last 30 days that occasionally my emergency brake light will flash on, and the bell will sound on harder than usual acceleration. This is not the ABS light. I intend to take it in for the Saftey Recall Notice soon, and wonder if there is something else I should have them check for me. Any ideas what may cause this?

That means your brake fluid is low. Either it's leaking, or your brake pads have worn down and the fluid's taking that space up, which will lower the fluid level in the master cylinder and trigger that light. You can add some fluid to make the light go away, but you really should get it looked at to see what the underlying problem really is.  SignatureGarner R.
