Brake Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Brake System Warning Lamp Diagnosis
The brake warning lamp illuminates when parking brake is applied with ignition key turned ON. The same light will also illuminate should one of the
two service brake systems fail when brake pedal is applied. To test system turn ignition key ON and apply parking brake. If lamp fails to light, inspect
for a burned out bulb, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected wire at switch. The lamp also lights when the ignition switch is turned to start.
Refer to Brake System Warning Lamp Diagnosis.
Brake Warning Lamp Switch
To test service brake warning system, raise vehicle on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a helper depresses brake pedal and observes
warning lamp. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a burned out bulb, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected wire at switch.
If lamp is not burned out and wire continuity is proven, replace brake warning switch. The switch is located in brake line Tee fitting in engine
compartment below master cylinder.
CAUTION: If wheel cylinder bleeder was opened check master cylinder fluid level.
