Parking Brake Warning Lamp: 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.
