Cadillac Allante brake warning light issue persists despite new brake pads and ABS pump replacement on Cadillac Allante

Problem overview

Some Cadillac Allante owners report experiencing persistent brake warning light issues even after replacing the brake pads and ABS pump. These problems can be triggered by low brake fluid levels, which may activate the warning light. Additionally, malfunctions within the ABS system, particularly involving the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), can cause the light to remain illuminated. Owners also note that old or contaminated brake fluid can hinder hydraulic pressure transmission, leading to similar warning light activations. Another common issue is the parking brake not being fully released, which can inadvertently trigger the warning light. Furthermore, some owners find that air bubbles in the brake system require proper bleeding to restore performance and eliminate the warning light. Lastly, checking for leaks in the accumulator is crucial, as a loss of nitrogen gas can affect brake pressure and contribute to the warning light problem. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, consulting a specialized mechanic or a Cadillac dealership is recommended for further diagnosis and resolution.
