scott209 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 On the way home from a long drive, the brake warning light kicked on. After I brake the light goes off and then returns in 30 seconds.Does this indicate a place to start looking for the problem? Brakes still work fine.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a new one they are available in The Reatta Store at a good price and you get free shipping.Accumulator Testing Instructions - Reatta Owners Journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Which light - red (brake) or yellow (ABS) or both? If you get a red light without the yellow coming on it is probably not the accumulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Check the brake fluid level. Check if the emergency brake is engaging. These are easy things to look at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
