brake light on under acceleration? s14

[Tuned240]

What is this? I accelerate throught 1 and 2nd hard, and the brake light comes on. Any ideas?

you probably need more brake fluid, i had that happen in my old car, whenever i accelerated the fluid would be tilted adn the sensor thinks you need more fluid.

Low fluid condition means one of two things, though:

- you have a leak in the brake system.
- your pads are worn down far enough that all the fluid is in the calipers instead of the reservoir.

Either way you need to do something else besides add fluid if it's low. If your pads aren't worn down almost to the backing plates, go hunting for leaks...
