Checking Operation

The red brake warning light will illuminate under the following conditions:
- 2-3 seconds at start-up as part of normal bulb check.
- When parking brakes are applied.
- Low brake pedal caused by leak in front/rear brake hydraulic circuit.

If the red light remains on after start-up, first verify that the parking brakes are fully released. Then check pedal action and fluid level. A red light plus low pedal indicates the pressure differential switch and valve have been actuated due to a system leak. On models with ABS brakes, the amber warning light only illuminates when an ABS malfunction has occurred. The ABS light operates independently of the red warning light.
