One of the most important warning lights on your dashboard is your red brake warning light. Brake warning lights are there to let you know something is not right with your braking system. 

The brake light will come on when your parking brake is on. This could be simply that you forgot it is on and so this is an easy fix. 

Sometimes a brake warning light indicates low brake fluid. Your brake fluid may be low because there is a leak in your brake system. Low brake fluid could also be a sign of worn brake pads. It’s important to find the cause and simply topping off the brake fluid is not recommended. 

The brake warning light will also come on if there is a loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake lines. This is usually due to a brake line rupturing and is a serious safety item. 

It is important to check your brakes regularly as they are an important safety item on your vehicle. Here at First Landing Auto Care, we check your brakes when you come in for your routine maintenance and oil changes. We hope this level of service will give you Peace of Mind when it comes to your car and your family’s safety.
