    Your brakes probably need replaced.

    That's what I thought at first but then I looked at the code thing in the book and it said something bout the electrical...brakes still work fine but Ima get down and check em out just to be sure.

    It's reading electrical because the sensors have worn through and activated the light.

    Can't you cycle through the messages and get the exact item it refers too?

    Tried doing that. Couldn't figure it out. Went to Autozone and there are no code readings so that's all good. One of the rear brake pads looks like it could be thin enough to set it off. I will most likely be changing them this weekend.
