Top up your brake fluid. When the pads wear down, the cylinders hold more fluid, so the level in the reservoir goes down, and there is a float in it that will trip the ebrake light.


Edit, if your DRL stay off, its the ebrake trigger. If you pull off the centre console plastic you'll see the little trigger and how it all works.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
