Yellow Brake Warning Light - Help
27k miles, original brakes.
Back in May when driving on the highway 30+ miles in hot temperatures the yellow brake warning light turned on. When I finished my drive and turned the car off and back on the next day things were back to normal and the brake light never came back on. Fast forward to just the other day. I did a road trip of 1,000 miles over a two day period. Within 1 hour of my trip, the yellow brake light came back on and stayed on for 95% of my trip. It was also hot temperatures outside. What do you think is wrong with my brakes if anything? The warning light only seems to come on during 30+ highway drives and hot temperatures. Faulty sensor? Also, the computer says 6k front and 10k rear remaining life and I just had the brake fluid changed.

Did any other warnings come on? I just had this along with the traction & ABS warning come on.
I took it to the dealer and they replaced the SZL sensor in the steering wheel. They told me it was a common issue and have replaced a lot of them. The warnings have gone away after they replaced it. |

Anyone know what might be wrong with my car? The brake light came back on today. Bringing it to the dealer Thursday and would like to have an idea what's going on. Also the dtc button doesn't work while the brake light is on

Bringing my car in tomorrow, anyone else know what might be the cause? The "Brake" light it in yellow but shows up red in the above pictures since I had my parking brake on during those pictures.

My car is doing the exact same thing right now and I'm 99% sure its the SZL sensor. Mine randomly goes on and off so a sensor failure makes sense. Only bad part is I'm not under warranty and a new sensor is $500
