Dash Brake light on

1994 Camry XLE V-6 239,000 miles and just broke in.

Dash barke light on??

I have checked brake fluid taking lid off the canister and level is spot on. Do not see any obvious leaks looking under the car at each wheel. Whatever is the cause it is no longer letting my cruise control to work. The cruise control systme must be getting a constant signal telling it the brakes are being applied. Car brakes seem to work ok and I continue to drive car daily. Problem with dash brake light cropped up about 5 days ago after I cleaned the EGR valve. I previously had a check engine light and code was for the EGR. Don't believe the problems are related but thought I would add this info anyway. BTW the check engine light came on again so cleaning the EGR didn't solve the problem. Will have to have the code read again to see if its the EGR or something else now. Dash is starting to look like a christmas tree with all the pretty colored lights on.

What should I check to solve the dash brake light/cruise control issue.

Check the brake pedal switch and the wires in the trunk near the driver's side hinge for fraying or being broken. These are the most likely suspects.

thanks Brian, glad you're still around after all these years being an Admin.

I do not know if that might be the problem, but on my Subaru I get the same symptoms when my alternator is going to go bad. It worth checking though.

Good luck,
Sam

On Toyota's the CHARGE and BRAKE light will come on when the alt is failing.
