I was driving today and the RED "BRAKE" light and RED Lift Hoist came up on the Instrument panel and stays on now... my Brake pads are pretty New and i don't feel or see anything unusual ..... brake fluid is to the top and i don't see no leaks..... I'm lost now ...any Help greatly Appreciated .tia

 

I had that same problem a while ago, mine ended up just being a service light that my oil needed changed because the last person that had it didnt know how to reset it apparently because it said I was 22,000 overdue (hopefully they didnt let it get that bad) but try putting the key in, and holding both the odometer reset and the brightness button down at the same time until the car does a complete system check. Then you will be able to scroll through and find what it is that is causing that light. Good luck!

 

Yeah...it was the service light.... just watch the Youtube video on how to reset it ....... feel sorry for Non forum and non mechanical people thats forced to go to the Dealer for this ...cause once you see the red "Brake" and Car on Lift light you scared and think you can't drive...

 

You can check what code the car is giving out, and search for that code to see whats wrong. I have the same light on my countryman lit up right now, i looked at the code and it was the brakepad wear sensor that malfunctioned, i know my pads are fine so i just ignore for now until i change the sensor.

to check the code go to Set-Info / Check-Info and hold down the stalk button for 10 seconds, should show you the code thats causing it.

 

I had same light come on shortly after getting new brakes and sensors. Took it back to shop and they found a shorted wire and replaced wire and sensor

 

I had the same thing happen to mine, They replaced the wire, sensor, and brakes to be 100%
