Parking Brake Warning Lamp: Description and Operation
Brake/Parking Brake Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area below and right
of the speedometer needle hub.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE (all clusters with a miles-per-hour primary speedometer scale), or the
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Brake Failure (all clusters with a kilometers-per-hour primary scale) in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
