Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation

RED BRAKE WARN INDICATOR LAMP

DESCRIPTION
A red warning lamp is used for the service brake portion of the hydraulic system. The lamp is located in the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The lamp is turned on momentarily when the ignition switch is turn to the on position. This is a self test to verify the lamp is operational.

The red warning light alerts the driver if the fluid level is low or the parking brakes are applied. A red warning lamp with an amber warning lamp may indicate a electronic brake distribution fault.
