Well, today, it didn't come on at all, however I took it into the tire/brake shop I usually deal with: Tire Warehouse in Edmonton where I have known the owner for about 25 years.
All they could find after thoroughly checking out the system was a slightly reduced brake fluid level which they topped off. Brake fluid hade been replaced about 5 years ago. 148,000 kilometres/90,000 miles on vehicle. Disk brakes all around. 25% wear left on rear pads. 60% left on front pads.
Thanks to Ray who was the only one to comment. A lump of coal to the others... unless, of course, they assumed that Ray had aced it so why clutter up the thread, eh?
