    2008 Prius touring model, owned since Dec 212. Brake system warning light went on when our rainy season started and went off briefly, but is now on all the time. Do I have to take it to the dealer?

    I would recommend you have it checked by someone who is experienced with the Prius brake system as it is a proprietary product and the system is unlike conventional type brakes on most cars today. It may be something minor, but brake system's are very important and are not worth risking your life on them.

    If Patrick Wong replies to this thread, pay close attention as he is one of the "experts" here on Prius Chat.

    Good luck to you.
