Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2007intermittent brake warning light on instrument panel
Sometimes after driving about one mile in the morning my brake warning light will come on for a few seconds. I do not feel any diminished braking and the light comes on when my foot is off the pedal. The pedal does not sink to the floor or anything. Does anyone have any explanations? This is a 1998 Accord LX 4cyl. Thank you. > Sometimes after driving about one mile in the morning my brake warning > light will come on for a few seconds.

This is a 1998 Accord LX 4cyl. Thank you. First, check the brake fluid level in the Master Cylinder. If that's OK, see here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/accord/x03-078e.pdf  SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ >> Sometimes after driving about one mile in the morning my brake warning >> light will come on for a few seconds.

For that to happen, you'd have to replace the cap too. The sensors are in the cap.
