microwave15 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 2008 Edge SEL (FWD) - I'm getting a Check Brake Fluid Level warning every morning that goes away after 5-10 minutes of driving, and am wondering if anyone else has run into this. I'm not noticing any performance issues with the brakes. The fluid level was at the minimum line in the reservoir, so I topped it off to max....but the warning light continues when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. I don't want my brake failing when it actually freezes. Any thoughts before I take it in? Right now, by uncap the reservoir while the engine is idling - read something about the ABS vales needing to be in the open position....? Any help is appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ablb Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 It does sound like a bad sensor. But you may need a brake job soon. “The fluid level was at the minimum line in the reservoir” Your pads and rotors are probably about used up. How many miles on your 08? ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microwave15 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm at 40K miles, so a brake job would not be shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsw88 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Did changing the brakes solve this issue? I'm having the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
