Default odd issue

the issue is when i accelerate from a stop to about 45 and let off the gas to coast the e-brake light pops on and stays on for a little bit then clicks off. i searched as well as i could and read somewhere that it could be the brake fluid level but that seems weird to me that it would cause the e-brake light to come on. im going to check it anyways as i have a cel 71 also. so im going to update asap.

It's the low level for the brake fluid. The brake icon comes on. It's either that or your pads have worn down (since it takes more fluid to get 'em to stop)

it was the fluid. it wasnt all too low but i filled it to the full line and now its good. fluid looked bad so maybe its time to do a complete brake system overhaul. thanks ihiryu. wait where in tx you from? im in houston.

I'm a few hours away from you. I'm in Killeen, which is roughly three and half from ya.
