i have noticed that my emergency brake light flashes when i make a ]
sharp right hand turn. could my back brakes be bad, i just had to put front ones on it. i bought the truck used and it still had the factory
brakes on it, the truck has 117,000 miles on it

you probably just need to add some brake fluid - it's a known problem with Toyotas; you gotta run the brake fluid pretty full to keep the warning light from coming on. When you go around a corner, it's shifting the fluid level enough to trigger the light.
