93 Toyota pickup emergency brake warning light Sign In

Year of vehicle 93
Make of vehicle Toyota
Model of vehicle pickup

Engine size 6 cylinder
Mileage/Kilometers
6000000

The emergency brake dashboard warning light on my 93 Toyota pickup will not go out when the emergency brake is disengaged. I'm not feeling any drag so I'm sure the brake is completely disengaged but the light stays on. Could this be a major problem or something that I, myself, can fix? And if the latter....how?

There are 3 different reasons for that light to come on


  1. Parking brake applied
  2. Low brake fluid level
  3. Hydraulic imbalance between braking systems

A fault in any of these systems will keep the light on.

Think I would go with #2....low level in the master cyl.... If that is the case then you may need frt brks or have a small leak somewhere...... either one needs to be checked out...
