Default brake wear sensor light when flooring it.
Havent owned my 95 ls400 for long but it seems everytime i have floored the gas pedal my brake wear sensor light will pop on and the car feels as if the brakes are engaged. Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue and knows what repairs need to be done. thanks in advanced.

first time hearing such an event. go to the source and check that pad indicator. high probability your pads are low. sticky calipers are common as well. how many miles are on the car?

pad indicators are located on the pass side front and rear.

Like timmy said check the sensors and their connectors.
