I have a 2000 GS 300 and the Emergency Brake light comes on when I drive. I am guessing it is a loose switch or something like that. I was wondering where that switch is located so that I can check it out.

Try checking your brake fluid levels. If the car starts beeping constantly while the light is on, you might wanna check that out.

yeah it could be brake fluid.

I would like to thank both of you.......That did the trick.

No problem. Glad we could help. Enjoy your GS!

You should watch your brake fluid levels closely. While the level will go down with regular brake pad wear (as the caliper pistons become further extended), brake fluid doesn't just disappear, and regular wear shouldn't cause it to become low enough to trigger a warning, if it was full enough to begin with.
If there is a leak in the system, it needs to be fixed. Not only will a leak continue to cause fluid loss, but also, any leak large enough to let fluid out is large enough to let air in, and air in the system is a problem. Air can be compressed (whereas fluid can not), resulting in decreased braking performance.
It is also possible that your brake pads are excessively worn, which could cause the fluid level to be lower than normal. Check them.

And remember that if you filled the reservoir when the pads were worn (and caliper pistons extended), there will likely be more fluid in the system than it can hold once the pistons are retracted to allow the installation of new pads. If this is the case, when it comes time to install new pads, you will need to remove the excess fluid before retracting the caliper pistons so it isn't forced out of the reservoir. (Spilled brake fluid is an exceptional paint remover!)

I will do that......Thanks
