Brake Light (Red) Self Check

BRAKE LIGHT SELF-CHECK

The red BRAKE warning light is used to indicate a low brake fluid level condition or parking brake applied condition. To check this light, insert the key in the ignition lock cylinder and turn it to the START position. The brake warning light should glow in this position. If it fails to glow, service the electrical system as required. Go to Diagnosis by Symptom.

Allow the key to spring back from the START position to the RUN position. At this time the red brake warning light should turn Off. If it does not turn Off, recheck the parking brake switch to make sure that it is fully disengaged. If the red brake warning light is still On, service the base brake system. In the event that the red brake warning light remains On, Go to Diagnosis by Symptom.
