Does anyone have any ideas why the red brake warning lite on my 2001 Accord
4 cyl. comes on intermittantly, fluid level is good, handbrake is off( auto
tranny but I activate the brake monthly). Usually appears after car has sat
overnight and clears after 10 k.m.'s, brakes and ABS working fine, any help
appreciated.

The same problem occurred on my 01 Prelude. It was the float and
apparently there is a TSB on it. I imagine it would be the same for the
Accord.

You only stop your car was a month? Every time the car is stopped or parked,
the hand brake should be applied.
