Handbrake light sa dashboard intermittently lighting on

[Kapitan tutan]

Good morning mga Tsikoteers. I just have a question/s. The handbrake light on my dash intermittently going on for some time now. Ngayon ko lang na experience eto sa tagal ko na ng d drive. Based sa owners manual have it checked sa authorize mitsu serviceman. Napansin ko na umilaw ung light when I had to do a sudden brake na dahil may tumawid na pusang gala sa kalsada, tapos minsan kahit gradual braking umiilaw din siya. Minsan meron minsan wala. Is this warning light connected to:

1. worn out brake pads - lately naririnig ko na may parang grinding/squeeling sound everytime I step on the brake.

2. dirty brake fluid/low level brake fluid - medyo maitim na fluid sa tank and nearing low level na,

Your inputs will be much appreciated. More power

age of car? last time the brake pads were changed?


1. some brake pads have wear indicator. they make a screeching sound when it needs replacement.

2. brake fluid should be clear. if not its time for a replacement with proper bleeding.

3. hand brake normally has 5-6clicks. if its more, adjustment has to be made...

Thank you sa reply mga sir.

To sir stockengine:

1. yes, there is a screeching sound when I applied the brake. But not all the time. I know may indicator nga sa brakes pag pudpud na. And napansin ko before na hindi pa umiilaw yung indicator sa dash e madami akong nakikitang break dust sa mags ko but lately parang konti na siya. I guess it is also an indicator na paubos na nga brake pads ko.

2. Brake fulid in is a bit dark. Im not sure kung sa fluid lang iyon o madumi na reservoir ko. Planning to have it clean and bleed siguro before replenishing the fluid.

3. handbrake is normal naman.

I guess I'll have the first 2 check up first. It could be either or both issues. maraming salamat sa replies guys.

Based on your stated concern, the brake fluid warning is telling g you it is low. Your brake fluid is recommended to be replaced every two years regardless of the mileage(see owner's manual).
The noise everytime you apply the brakes is attributed to the worn out brake pads.
Have it serviced soon.

Could be the micro switch on the handbrake is acting up....?

Silipin mo yung brake fluid reservoir baka kailangan na dagdagan ng brake fluid. Ugaliin mo mag flush out at magpalit ng fresh na brake fluid every 2 years. Ganyan ginawa ko sa corolla bigbody ko nuon. Palit brake pads at brake shoes lang kasi normal na nauupod naman yun. Hindi ako nakaranas ng leaking brake fluid hanggang mabenta ko sya after 10years.

If it's a 90s car and na check mo naman na hindi nababawasan break fluid, another culprit for that behavior is busted brake tail lights.

If you're referring to Toyota's light failure warning system, the amber in color warning on the dash will be on at all times if the current to the tail/brake lights is low. The TS's car is a Mitsubishi and the warning light only turns on intermittently when he applies the brakes or when the brake fluid sloshes on sudden deceleration.

It's brake not break ... and that indicator is not used to report broken bulb tail lights ...

My old Mazda 323 has this feature bro.

My fault for generalizing it for everything else

That light will be amber in color. The brake warning light is red in color on your instrument panel.

It's not the amber one bro. It was also the brake light warning in the instrument panel.

Nung mapalitan yung isang pundidong ilaw nawala na.

Wiring issue perhaps kasi nakuha ko yung unit na yun as second hand??? I didn't bother to check that time because I considered it a convenient way for me to know to check if there are busted brake lights.
