Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2006honda accord emergency brake light
Hi I have a 01' accord v6 and once in awhile my emergency brake light comes on on my dash. It usually comes on when I first start the car and its cold and stays on for about 15 mins and goes away. I just had my front brakes pads replace and the rear is still good, fluid level is ok. Go to your Honda dealer and get a new improved Float and Strainer. The Strainer has vent slots on top to stop this problem. The float is improved also. About $8.00. I know, because I had the problem..there is a bulletin from Honda on the problem . The parts go into your master cylinder reservoir. > Hi I have a 01' accord v6 and once in awhile my emergency brake light > comes > on on my dash.

Thanks Andy, I've just started seeing this problem. The fluid is fine, I'll go get the part. '98 Accord. Al G When it's happened to me I add a little brake fluid to the master cylinder. That has taken care of the problem.

This has happened to me twice in 6 years. Once after having the brakes replaced, and just recently apparently due to normal disc wear. If it gets to be a constant problem, I'll have to look into replacing the fluid sensor.

There are TSB's for CR-V, Civic, Accord. They have all had the same problem. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/accord/x98-039e.pdf 'Curly' motsco_ <motsco_@interbaun.com> wrote in article <12k7d566rg9f19@corp.supernews.com>... > > This has happened to me twice in 6 years.

As stated, if it continues to be a problem I'll replace the "Float". TomC |
