2000 Land Cruiser Parking Brake alarm will not turn off.

I have a 2000 Toyotal Land Cruiser. When I disengage the parking brake, the light goes off, but the alarm does not. Any ideas?

    Thank you Raffaiel, where exactly is the parking brake switch?

  • mariaswatek May 02, 2009

    I see the wire, it's white, but can't find anything attached. Do I have to take something off to see it, like the console? Sorry, I'm a newbie.

ABS light stays on if car is started with parking brake engaged.

The ABS light illuminates when there is an "out of specification" condition. From your description, it sounds like your parking brake cable may require tightening, or there may be an issue where the rear brakes are not properly releasing when the parking brake is released. With car that is nearly 20 years old, it is not inconceivable that the rear brakes and parking brake assembly may require regular service.

A good first step would be to have error codes read out by a local mechanic or auto parts store. This may give you a better indication of the specific problem. In any case, ANY brake warning should be taken VERY SERIOUSLY and corrected IMMEDIATELY, as you may have a potentially dangerous potential of catastrophic brake failure. PLEASE GET THE ISSUE FIXED RIGHT AWAY!

2009 Grand Caravan the parking brake light stays on after the parking brake is disengaged?

sounds like the parking brake arm is not returning to the fully off position. try pull the release handle and at the same time pull up on the lever. if the light goes out then its not fully returning. it could be out of adjustment or the brake cables or sticking and need to be freed up.

The parking brake is disengaged and when i am driving it will flash

In most cases when the brake or parking light comes on it's due to the switch not making full contact with the parking brake linkage. Sometimes just manually pulling the brake back will make the light go off. Fix is to adjust the switch out just a little so that the switch goes off when the brake is released.

When does the brake warning light becomes off: When the parking brake pedal is fully retracted position or when it is disengaged

It goes off when the parking-barke is disengaged.
However, low brake-fluid, other mafunctions could cause it to remain 'ON'

Can i disable the headlights on in the daytime on my 2000 suzuki gran vitara, i am going through headlight bulbs very often and they are 20 dollars a pop.

They only activate when the car is in gear and the parking brake is disengaged. find the grounding wire off the parking brake lever and break the ground when brake is disengaged, you may also lose you parking brake warning light. Not sure if it's on a seperate circuit or not.

Parking light brake light will not go off after power is engaged

no the P light ans system will always be on unless you command a drive or N funtion since there is no 'park' in the drive train only a mechanical brake. when running/on, when you put in drive it should acknoledge drive and P should unlock. if not you have trouble and need the dealer

Trying to remove and replace rear brake rotors

First, make sure your parking brake is off.
Remove the rear caliper and then the brake pad housing. In the center hub of the rotor the parking brake shoes are located. The may need to be loosen first. There is a hole between 2 of the studs you need to align at the bottom. Look in the hole with a flashlight and find the star wheel. Use a screw driver to turn the wheel up a few turns to loosen the parking brake shoes from the rotor hub.
After that there are 2 threaded holes in the rotor near the studs you put two 8mm bolts in and slowly tighten each and it will pull the rotor off the hub. They rust up pretty bad so use penetrating oil on them.
