My brake pressure light stays on occasionally for an extended period upon startup...is this something to be concerned with?? The brakes have checked out ok with visual inspection as well as being driven by my shop's owner to verify.

Should I be concerned by the light though??

Thanks!!

My booster pressure light stays on at cold startup for about 20 seconds. I'm told that this is normal.

Yup, the brake booster light is normal on startup. Should go away after a little bit. Actually, it's before startup, the brake booster is electric and you can hear it when you put the key in and turn it to the first position.

The other warning lights are probably other problems.

I've melted my wear sensors at the track, causing intermittent lighting of that warning light until the sensors were replaced. Removal of the sensors with a cheap brake job may cause the same problem.

I have had the problem with the handbrake light coming on at the track when accelerating hard. I just figured the car was stressing out.

How did you solve the problem? I note that happens when accelerate at any revs?

I have not been able to solve it - I just ignore it and it goes away.
