Brake Failure Code showing up AGAIN!

[ulflyer]

Orange failure notice, C1282 code today. This was going on a couple weeks ago before getting new OEM rotors and EBS pads put on front. Tech figured it was the rotors causing the calipers to move in/out that caused it. Rear had new EBS pad not too long ago.
Am going to be at shop first thing saturday morn to see if they can check it out. And no, I don't ride the brakes. Most of time, unless in town, my feet are out on Lamonts pegs. I'm thinking its related to a too sensitive computer or somesuch.

Edited: Tech said he hooked BUD up and found no issues; reset, test rode, said if it showed up again he'd do further research, mentioned something about pressure check..not sure i understood exactly what he said.

C1282 = low brake pressure detection - says check for leaks. Could be master cylinder internal seal leak if nothing is obvious. tol

Possible causes....

Low brake pressure due to system failure. Dealer should check brake pressure on BUDS.
Stuck brake pedal not returning all the way. Check to see that it comes all the way back, check for dirt and debris.
Faulty or misadjusted brake switch. Check via BUDS.
Dirt at brake switch. Check and clean thoroughly.
There are other, more remote possibilities, but these would be a good start.

It may be wise to check the break fluid level to.

C1282

All, When re-installing brake calipers after installing brakes, or replacing the rear tire, do not press the brake pedal with the key turned on, and don't do it quickly. Press it several short, slow strokes to run the piston back out against the disk. Pressing the pedal quickly with the key turned on (and the piston still compressed) offers no resistance, and causes "nanny" to think that there is a leak in the system and fluid is escaping. You will need to hook up to B.U.D.s to remove the code.

I would go with this answer. The only brake code I ever had was from being about a teaspoon low on brake fluid. A teaspoon is a very small amount but apparently the system is very sensitive to this. Good luck.
