1995 e320 Wagon
Yellow brake warning light question

Hi all,

I have a 1995 e320 wagon and the amber brake warning light has been on intermittently with no correlation to the use of the brakes. Sometimes it will stay on and flash what looks like the same rhythm as the wheels are turning. Any ideas on what would cause this? Of course I have checked all the pads, and the wiring to the front pads and everything is fine. The brakes work per usual. I thought that light was only supposed to go on when my front pads were getting thin. I see the sensor for that up front but do not see it in the back. Is it supposed to be in the back also?

I am wondering if it might have something to do with my ABS system except that has its own warning light that I have never seen go on.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee

If this is the warning light in the top middle of the speedo, it is for your ASR.

It will light up when the ASR is active and controlling the throttle.
