I drive an 02 Lexus ES300, I was parking on a hill and put my Ebrake on before shifting to park by accident. I saw a spark below the Ebrake pedal. When I went to get into my car the next day, I couldn’t shift into park automatically. Instead I had to shift it manually pressing the release button. For the next 5 days I left the car sitting because the streets had filled with snow and ice and I could not drive it up the hill because the traction control has never worked since I bought the car. When I was able to get my car because the snow melted away I had to repeat the process of manually shifting, then I noticed the Ebrake light was still on even though it was released, my ABS light was on also. As I was accelerating up the hill and pressed on the brake to go around a Round a bout I noticed the brake was going to the floor and I could barley stop it. I managed to park the car again.
now that I have explained the issues. Could this be an Electrical issue like a fuse or a switch? An Master cylinder issue or brake line issue involving bad brake lines or air in the system? Or an ABS pump issue?
What is the car's mileage?
Roughly 186,000
Well everything is electronic so first you had a spark something shorted out so fix where the shortest perhaps it's the switch and the emergency brake and then replace any blown fuses. Pray it's electrical feedback problems from that short and not something super expensive like a brake booster.
Thank you, I will check this out first.
