Remodot Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Every so often I get a 'Handbrake' warning as seen in picture. 99 times out 100 when I apply the hand brake I don't get this, then I'll get it once. It pops up on the flat as well as on hills, handbrake works fine. Any ideas? 2006 S Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Where is the sensor? Isn’t it by the lever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horror Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 On a gen2 car, if the car isn’t absolutely stationary, the warning (and beep?) will occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Gen 1, but wonder if that's what I occasionally do without realising it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remodot Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sorry for late update. The warning light comes on if moving. I don’t know why but I seem to have gotten into the habit of pulling the handbrake on while I was still moving, Almost stopped but wheels still rolling. However the up side is while checking switches and brakes I found the off side auto adjuster has seized, now loosened off and working again.

On both my last 2005 and this 2011. Which is odd - because using the handbrake while just rolling once in a while is a good check on how well it works. Also odd is the message. 'Fail' to me means it is broken.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
