aveBrake code

[raytriker]

.I have a 2009 rs. Brake failure cam up on dash. Checked the fluid, changed the back brake, bleed front and rear and cvs. Still have code showing. What next. I did what you said, Grandpot. Still have brake failure on.

I had a Brake Failure show up with the orange screen, but no actual Code number displayed. I was able to drive and stop with no problem. If this is what happened to you, the following may help.

1. Actually there are three switches in the brake system. The first is a operated by the brake pedal and is used to turn on the brake lights. The second is a hydraulic operated switch that senses the brake pedal has been pressed hard enough to actuate the brakes. The third is another regular switch that senses the brake pedal has been pressed too far, indicating the brakes may not be working.

2. The first and third switches are the ones you are interested in at this time.

3. Turn the key off for at least 30 secs.

4. Turn the key on and immediately (do not wait for Nanny to boot up) press on the brake pedal hard enough to actuate the first and third switches. You will be able to hear both switches. You will really need to press hard to actuate the third switch.

5. Turn the key off and back on. The Brake Failure warning should be cleared.

99% of the brake failure warnings are a matter of low brake fluid. The fluid level looks fine, but it's actually a tablespoon or so low. Put some in after you clean the cap and surrounding area.
