    Hi! First time starting a thread here-
    I have a 1998 4Runner and recently the emergency brake light on the dashboard has been on, it will intermittently go off after going over a bump in the road, but will come back on shortly after.
    The e-brake is not engaged. Brake fluid is topped off.
    Any ideas on what could be the issue?

    You are in the wrong forum if you have a 1993. You need 2nd gen 4Runners.

    I don’t know if it would trip the light but, the level in the master cylinder is very picky.

    Pretty sure the e-brake is not connected to the MC. He said he has an e-brake light.

    Does a 93 have an e-brake light or a low fluid light like the 3rd gens?
