Brake Warning Indicator: Service and Repair

This lamp will be illuminated when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. The lamp may be illuminated for as long as 30 seconds as a bulb and system check.

If the lamp remains illuminated or comes on while operating the vehicle, a problem in the ANTILOCK brake system is indicated.

When lamp is illuminated, place the ignition switch in OFF position, then restart engine. If lamp still remains illuminated, the anti-lock brake system should be serviced.
The brake system will remain functional, without the anti-lock function.
After servicing the anti-lock system the lamp will automatically reset.

On some models it may be necessary to operate vehicle at a speed over 18 mph to reset lamp.
