My e-brake light comes on during heavy acceleration.
Anybody have any idea why and how I can fix it? Is this a common problem? Thanks |
There are 2 typical reasons for this. First being you are low on brake fluid, check your reservoir and fill it up if necessary. Second could be the E-brake handle attachment has become "loose." Unfortunately I cannot elaborate more on the 2nd possibility, so someone is going to have to take over where I left off.

if you think about the way the e-brake handle moves when you set it...it is being thrown back/set by heavy acceleration...you need to tighten the handle under the console.
Have you tried heavy acceleration while holding the e-brake in the off possition...this will test my theory. -Sean |

Good news- It happens because your car is fast-
Mine did that- you have to tighten the e-brake handle- |

Its really just the light. One click (if that) will not engage the ebrake.
