Given that the car will likely see some mild power upgrades and track time in the future, we opted for some more capable hardware, McLeod’s Street Tuner clutch.

As put together plans to bring the car back up to snuff, a new clutch was added to the list. It can also turn on the Parking Brake light in your dash.Our project Honda S2000 clocks in with 366,000 miles on the odometer, with only two clutch changes in its whole life. Uneven Fluid Pressure: If your car is experiencing uneven brake fluid pressure in one or more lines, it will affect braking performance, and could possibly cause the vehicle to pull to one side or the other during braking. If the sensor fails or is going bad, the Parking Brake light will turn on. It’s sometimes mounted in the side of the sensor, and is sometimes part of the reservoir cap. You may notice the light turning on or off when going around turns as the fluid level changes.īad Level Sensor: Your master cylinder is equipped with a brake fluid level sensor. Low Brake Fluid: Your Parking Brake light is a multifunction device, and is designed to illuminate if the fluid level in the reservoir drops below a certain point. If the brake does not disengage when the handle is lowered, the warning light will stay on in the dash. Parking Brake Not Disengaging: Sometimes the trouble isn’t with the switch or the cables, but with the parking brake itself. Any pressure on the parking brake cable will cause the light to stay on. Double-check that the handle is all the way down and that the parking brake is disengaged. If the light turns off (or turns off and then back on), the switch is the most likely culprit and will need to be replaced.īrake Handle Not Completely Lowered: Another reason for the light to stay on is if the brake handle is not completely lowered. This can be checked easily by jiggling the handle after it is down.
