I bled and changed my S2000 brake fluids for the first time today just like I've been doing for the rest of my cars. Fresh brake fluid topped off, hand brake lowered. Everything seems to be working fine and brake seems normal from driving around. Dash brake light stays on... what could be wrong?? what else can I check?

try tightening your ebrake cable?

maybe a reset by disconnecting the battery don't forget to have your radio code handy if you do this

I didn't touch anywhere near the ebrake cable so that shouldn't be it.

Check the float inside the brake reservoir... sometimes when you drain the fluid too low it tends to stick at the bottom, and the low fluid level sensor trips.

This is what happened to me in my old Toyota.

Hey! this could very well be it!! I'm going to try that right now!

Thanks!

Let me know how it goes!

argh! I changed the fluids to ATE Super Blue... the blue brake fluid is too dark for me to see the float!!

alternatives?

take the cap off and look

Stick your finger in the reservoir if you can... I am not sure if there is a guard of some sorts. You might be able to jostle it loose.
