Red Brake Warning Lamp

The red brake warning lamp will illuminate under the following conditions:
- Self test at start-up.
- Parking brakes are applied.
- 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. If the lamp on and the brake pedal is low this indicates the pressure differential switch and valve have been actuated due to a leak in the hydraulic system.
Models with ABS brakes, the amber warning lamp only illuminates during the self test and when an ABS malfunction has occurred. The ABS lamp operates independently of the red warning lamp.
