Brake system warning light illuminates

POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  ABS HU/CM malfunction
•  DSC HU/CM malfunction
•  Brake fluid level sensor malfunction
•  Brake fluid level is low
•  Parking brake switch malfunction
•  BCM malfunction
•  Instrument cluster malfunction
•  Connector or pin malfunction
•  Short circuit in wiring harness between CAN-L, CAN-H and GND
•  Open circuit in CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H)
•  Open or short circuit in wiring harness between brake fluid level sensor and BCM.
•  Open or short circuit in wiring harness between parking brake switch and BCM
•  CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H) short each other
•  Malfunction in brake switch input to PCM (Vehicles with brake override system, without malfunction warning light)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
•  Start the engine.
•  Release the parking brake.
•  Does the brake system warning light turn off?
Yes
Troubleshooting completed.
No
Go to the next step.
2
•  Does the brake fluid need replenishment?
Yes
Add brake fluid.
No
Vehicles with brake override system, without malfunction warning light
•  Go to the next step.
Others
•  Go to Step 4.
3
•  Is the DTC P0571:00 or P0703:00 (except MZR-CD 2.2) detected?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting procedure.
No
Go to the next step.
4
•  Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
•  Have DTCs U0415:68 or U0415:92 been recorded in memory?
Yes
Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster.
No
Go to the next step.
5
•  Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
•  Have DTCs U0140:00 been recorded in memory?
Yes
Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster.
No
Go to the next step.
6
•  Inspect the followings:
―  Brake fluid level sensor
―  Parking brake switch
―  Wiring harness between brake fluid level sensor and BCM
―  Wiring harness between parking brake switch and BCM
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
No
Go to the next step.
7
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Measure the resistance between the DLC-2 terminals F and E.
•  Is the resistance below 60 ohms?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 9.
8
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Inspect the DLC-2 terminals F and E for short to power supply or GND.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
9
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Inspect the instrument cluster connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
•  Are the terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the terminal.
10
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster connector terminals 2X and 2W.
•  Is the resistance 114—126 ohms?
Yes
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
