Frequently asked questions

Why is my brake light on but brakes feel fine?

Common causes are low fluid or a sensor issue. It still needs checking — don't ignore it.

Is the brake light the same as the ABS light?

No — they're separate warnings, but either one means the braking system needs attention.
