Solutions for the brake light of Vios being on: 1. Check the brake fluid. If it is due to insufficient brake fluid, replenish it in time; 2. Check the brake switch and disassemble it for repair; 3.

I've been driving a Vios for several years, and the brake light staying on is a common issue. Possible causes include a stuck brake switch that hasn't reset, a short circuit in the wiring, a blown fuse, or poor pedal linkage. If you notice the light stays on, don't rush to drive, as this could make following vehicles think you're slowing down, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision—it's really unsafe. Try troubleshooting it yourself: open the hood, check the switch position under the pedal, and manually push or pull it to see if it moves properly. If it's loose or dirty, clean it and test again. If you can't fix it, pull over and call a tow truck to take it to a 4S shop for repairs—don't push your luck. Regular maintenance, like keeping the switch lubricated, can prevent such hassles, saving you money and stress.
