Thread: "Brake Fault" shows on cluster and brake light on

    Periodically when I stop, not always, maybe once or twice a day. The message display will beep, "brake fault" will show up and brake light illuminates. When I make my turn or continue driving the message display clears (returns to mileage, temperature and brake light goes out) in about 15 seconds.

    There is no abs light, no codes in brake system

    I have made abs stops on a dirt road, No problems or lights.

    The problem oly occurs under normal driving, I do not feel any thing wrong in the pedal or braking system, no pulses, shimmies, or clunks nothing

    I have ECS slotted rotors, red stuff pads, and stainless steel brake lines.

    Check the fluid level.

    The fluid level is good

    The brake light would illuminate if low
