BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The BRAKE warning light comes on when the brake fluid is insufficient, the parking brake is applied or the EBD is defective.

The skid control ECU is connected to the combination meter via CAN and Multiplex communications.

The pad wear indicator is installed to the brake pad (right side).

If the wear indicator wire is open, "Brake Wear" appears on the multi-information display, which indicates that the pad must be replaced.
