light failure?

doesn't that mean handbrake? i forgot, and it's too cold and wet outside to get my manual

[TVR-190]

went and checked then, according to car manual its brake failure

it should come on when you turn the key to acc but not be on while driving

brake failure... hmmm strange....

the brakes seem to be working fine.....
would it be possible for water or dirt to get into the sesor and its giving a false reading?

had to go down a dirt road today and as it has been raining where i am... there was a couple of puddles i couldnt avoid

possible, but ive done plenty of offroading in my car and never had it happen, best to get it checked, dont want to risk it when it comes to brakes

If it's anything like my mates Kingswood, it's just something that tells you when you need new pads or rotors. Don't really remember how it works, but your rotors or pads might be a little on the thin side.

So, it wouldn't really effect your braking, but it might be time to give them a look over.

might also just check the pads and see what condition they are in
