Getting an error message the minute you try to start your car is never fun! Luckily, a brake system problem in your Acura ILX is usually an easy fix. The problem is most likely due to a faulty
brake light switch
or you’re just a little too low on brake fluid.
You can check and add brake fluid on your own if you’ve got the elbow grease for it. Otherwise, you might be better off towing your car to a mechanic. Replacing a brake light switch should only cost around $200 or less, so you should be in for a quick and easy repair.
