Century L4-2.2L VIN 4 (1994)
Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
Battery voltage is applied to the "BRAKE" Indicator when the Ignition Switch is in "RUN," "BULB TEST" or "START". Four switches are connected
to the "BRAKE" Indicator. When any of these switches close, ground is provided and the indicator lights.
The Ignition Switch provides a ground when it is in the "BULB TEST" and "START" positions.
The Park Brake provides a ground when the Park Brake is applied.
The Brake Fluid Level Indicator Sensor closes to light the "BRAKE" Indicator with low brake fluid in one of the two hydraulic brake fluid reservoirs.
This could be caused by a leak in one of the brake lines. The switch can be reset to "OPEN" by refilling the reservoir; however, this can only be
accomplished after the faulty system is repaired. If equipped with Antilock Brakes, the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) closes to light the
"BRAKE" Indicator and sets a diagnostic trouble code when an Antilock Brake failure will affect base brake operation.
