Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the
tachometer and the speedometer.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE and the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Brake Failure 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.
