Legend Sedan V6-3206cc 3.2L SOHC FI (1995)
Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
The brake indicator system alerts the driver that the parking brake is applied, or that the brake fluid level is low. The circuit warns the driver by
illuminating the brake system indicator light. The light is also activated by the brake check circuit.
Parking Brake
With the ignition in ON (II) or START (III), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 13 and the brake system indicator light to the parking brake
switch. With the parking brake ON, the switch is closed, providing a ground for the light. The brake system indicator light reminds the driver that
the parking brake is applied.
Brake Fluid Level
With the ignition in ON (II) or START (III), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 13 and the brake system indicator light to the brake fluid
level switch. If the brake fluid level is low, the brake fluid level switch closes, and ground is provided to the circuit. The brake system indicator
then comes ON to alert the driver. Check the brake system for brake pad wear and fluid leaks before adding brake fluid.
Bulb Check
With the ignition switch in its START (III) position, voltage is applied to the brake check circuit. The brake check circuit closes, allowing current
to flow through the brake system indicator light and brake check circuit to ground. The brake system indicator light comes ON to test the brake
system indicator light bulb.
