Hey, I popped the brake line going to the rear brakes from the Front all the way back. When it blew, the red brake light and! Lit up on the dash… I got most of the air out of the line after it is fixed and not leaking. But can't figure out how to reset the light so it turns off. Tried the disconnect the battery trick. I have the ABS fuse pulled because that system is not working, and I don't like ABS anyway. But when the fuse was pulled before the Breakline blue, that brake light warning light wasn't on. Anyone tell me how to make that damn thing go off. Thanks in advance. Terry

Have you bled the brake lines to get all of the air out? Is your parking brake partially engaged?

 

I bled the driver's side rear and the parking brake has been inoperable for all the time I've had it, Isn';t there a way to just reset the light or does air in the line actually make the light stay on??
THanaks for the reply,

Thanks for the reply

When the line blew, the centering valve did exactly what it was designed to do; mechanically shut off the hydraulic circuit that failed, and illuminate the red brake light. If the master cylinder went dry, there is air trapped in the EBCM. Gravity bleeding each caliper, one at a time, will expel air from all except the EBCM. A quick, firm, jab & release of the brake pedal should center rhe valve and turn the light off. If the pedal is still mushy after the gravity bleed, you will need to perform the automated bleed with a capable scan tool, then bleed each caliper again. You may need to repair the ABS before the automated bleed will work. The automated bleed operates all of the solenoids in the EBCM and moves any trapped air into the steel lines just outside the EBCM, that's why the calipers need to be bled again, (to get the air out of the system).

 

Thanks for all that great info. The master cylinder never went dry, not even close... But what about when I replaced the line connecting/connected to the proportioning system there under the hood. That likely put air into the ECBM yes??
Thx again ,

Very possible.

 

What a terrific forum. Thank you all for your help and replies. I bled the right rear and did the quick kick on the pedal..and then just held it firm and a little push and I felt the ECBM reset, light went right out. Seems all good now,
thanks again...what a great forum!!

Nice work!
