Default Just chipped with GIAC (a.k.a. Garret); "Brake" light comes on at odd times.

As the title says, the round little parking brake indicator came on during full-on second gear acceleration. And I do mean full-on! (My, my, my, what fun... *grin*)

Anyone else experience this? Anyone know what it might be?

Could it be merely the brake fluid sloshing around from acceleration, tripping some "low brake fluid" sensor? Seems unlikely.

Default Does it flash and beep at you? If so...

I had this problem in my 2.8. The dealer topped off the brake fluid and it has been fine since.

Default I seem to recall a beep. It doesn't stay on... (more)

It came on twice in rapid succession, and has been off since.

I'll talk to the dealer... thanx for the hint.
