    I have a 01 2.7 taco and just installed the s13we calipers and the oem tundra rotors but now my brake light wont go off. I checked the fliud and made sure the emergency brake is in all the way. Any idea what could be causing this?

    Try bleeding the brake again? How does the braking feel?

    might be a proportioning valve sensor or pressure differential switch. more pressure to the front than expected could offset that sensor. but like you said. still damn good brakes.

    This happened to me when I did my install as well. Try tapping the side of the brake fluid reservoir. my brake fluid level sensor was stuck thinking it was low
