Low Brake Fluid Light

  

iamrmdog -> Low Brake Fluid Light (11/23/2007 10:09:06 AM)

My 2004 Impala LS has been giving random warning lights recently. I have searched the internet form similar symptoms but nothing has come up. Here is the brake down,
When I start the car all systems are normal. Place car in Drive and all systems are normal. It seems when I accelerate slightly above normal (i.e. turning into traffic), the "Low Brake Fluid" light appears in the dash message center. This is normally a sign that my pads are getting low. However, at the same time the "Low Brake Fluid" light turns on, so does the BRAKE light as well as the TRACTION OFF light. After driving about a mile or two down the toll way, the "Low Brake Fluid" light turns off, but the other two dash lights stay on. Pressing the traction control button does not turn the traction control back on. It seems that shutting the vehicle off, resets everything. Anyone run into this?
Thank you for your time and input,
Daane

Yes, this problem also started around the time my floating speedometer problem appeared. I doubt they are related, but I wanted all the facts to be out in the open.

My '04 Impala has just started doing this...exact same symptoms...seems like when you shut car off it resets and goes away.  Car has just over 50K miles.

Thats an odd problem. Could be a faulty BCM?

Sound dumb, but have you checked the fluid level in the reservoir? Could be to a point where turning a corner will cause it to read low. Low fluid will cause the brake warning light and also disable the traction control system causing both lights to be on.
