I have a 1999 4Runner. Recently the emergency brake light started
coming on (in the dash) when I accelerate the vehicle. There seems to
be no negative affect, but it is curious. Maybe something is loose?
Is there an easy way to access the connections to the dash to check?
Thanks, bizz
Add brake fluid… it sounds like you are low…

That’s usually a sign that you’re low on brake fluid. You lose a bit over
time when they bleed the brakelines for services. They never refill the
ammount they bled out.
If you have to constantly top it off, then you may be leaking some fluid
slowly.

Yeah, top off your brake fluid and have your brakes checked for wear.
