Tire and Brake Warning light question

VaHoo · #1 (**permalink**) 04-23-2008, 08:14 PM

I have a 2003 Sequoia SR5 4WD. It has the factory 265 65 17 tires. I want to put on a slightly larger 265 70 17. Anyone know of any problems with this.. rubbing, ect...

My red Brake warning light continues to come on periodically. 2 months ago I had a complete brake job front and back and I know my brake fluid level is fine. It still comes on.. any suggestions?

Thanks

if it is coming on intermittently, then you have a 99% chance that the fluid is at the minimum mark. yspert

To second the fluid level..... In addition to the 99% chance the fluid is at the minimum mark, there is a 90% chance it is below the full line. The sensor is VERY sensitive and (on mine at least) if not near full the light will come in while braking in sharp turns.

I have a similar issue with the brake warning light coming on and IT IS NOT the fluid level in the master cyc. Here is the related link Was Solution Ever Found to the Issue of the Emergency Brake Light Randomly Coming On?. The problem is still unresolved. It's going back in the shop for the 9th time for another new component. I will post an update. At the very least, you should see if there if the vehicle is shooting any codes. Mine has posted several.

Good luck.
