Brake Failure

[ghostspyder11]

I have a 2011 R T A/C that is showing brake failure on the screen. The emergency brake works,can feel when ingaged and disingaged. Brakes work. Checked levels and fluids and they are all good. Any ideas anyone?:gaah:

be sure that you are checking brake fluid on level ground and that fluid is truly full.

That's all i can help with

Check the rear pads. When our brake failure light came on, my rear pads were gone.

Brake fluid may look full. The sensor is way to sensitive and a tablespoon low may set it off. Another possibility, has the brake fluid been changed? That will cause it too. Did on my wife's 2010 RTS.

have you had the key out and away from the ignition..?? Some brake failure can come from foot on the pedal too long but if the computer doesn't reset that warning stays on...and all of the above...:thumbup:

I've been having the same issue. I pull up a code and its C0048. Anyone know what this means?

Not found in database is it the correct code . c0049 is brake fluid level sensor

That was probably the code then. Thanks. I'll check that today.

I do mostly city riding so I do lots of stops and starts. I have 9000 miles on my 2012 RT. What is the norm brake pad life span?

You can ckeck rear pads by laying on floor with mirror if smaller than 2mm they need replacement . My fronts pads 32000 miles still good

This happened to my '11 RT and it took months to figure it out:
It would throw a code, 01282 (I believe). Turned out to be
the "Pin" ( not sure its called that) that the rear pads slide on was corroded just enough to prevent a clean return/release of the pad after applying the brake. Also, that one pad was getting thin because of it on one end but not down to metal. Since I had some new pads from BahaRon, the Mechanic took that pin and thoroughly cleaned it on a wire wheel, applied a tiny bit of moly, and it was good to go again.

Just happened to me on trip, freaked out visited local dealer, new tech to bs with, I was parked on incline facing down fyi, fluid was good & verified, but the incline& me getting on as i cranked caused float to (flip out) & send warning. They gave me a splash to be nice, & good service THX Bradford marine, Springdale AR. Was able to enjoy the rest of trip.

Well, had an appointment to bring it in to Route One motorsports, had to bleed the brakes completely. Brakes feel awesome now! Thanks to Route One, you guys are the best!:2thumbs::yes::clap:

Er,, I think it is a parking brake rather than an emergency brake. I don't think I woud like to click it on at any kind of speed.
