it should light up right under the speedometer on your dash when you pull it up. at least that is how it is on my 2001. if it is not lighting up, then it is either the sensor, your brakes, or the bulb in the dash. the brakes are easiest enough to test. get on a flat part of pavement, put the car in neutral, and apply the parking break. if you can push the car forward any, then they are the issue. if you can't move it, than its something else.
testing the sensor or the bulb would be very labor intensive. if your breaks are working, then the first thing i recommend is bleeding the breaks. I had an issue where my e-brake light would stay on and I bled the brakes and it resolved that issue. hopefully that will solve it.
hope this helps!
The 1994 Toyota Camry emergency brake light switch can be found beneath the drivers side dashboard. The emergency brake light switch will be beneath the far left hand side of the dashboard.
Check if emergency brake is fully disengaged.
If you mean the brake light in your dashboard, it means that you have your emergency break on while the car is on.
emergency brake light stays on
The light on the dash that says the emergency brake light is on could have burned out if it does not light up when the emergency brake is actually on. In some vehicles, this light will not light up until the car is put into gear to warn the driver that the emergency brake is still on.
Check your brake fluid level.
you need a new brake pressure differential switch
my brake light stay on but emergency brake is unhooked
I'll hazard a guess you're asking about the brake warning light on the dash, not the brake lights at the rear of the vehicle. The warning light will come on if brake fluid falls below a certain level, if a fault is detected in the master cylinder, if there's unequal pressure in the brake lines (usually due to a leaky caliper) or other issue. It might also simply mean your emergency brake is applied or the switch is bad. Whatever the cause, don't ignore it. If you're not mechanically inclined, take the car to a brake shop, your favorite mechanic or a Toyota dealer. Brake failure is not an option. Cheers
If it is your emergency brake warning light, the switch that warns you that the brake is applied may be out of adjustment.HOWEVER - if it is your brake system warning light - GET IT LOOKED AT ASAP - The vehicle's on-board computer is sensing that there's something wrong with it.
If the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low ( in your engine compartment ) that will also turn on your emergency brake light just as if the emergency brake was applied
Check the brake fluid level, as on many vehicles the "emergency brake" (in the UK, Hand-brake) warning light also acts as a warning light for low brake-fluid.
