Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
Description
Safety Indicator System:
Bulbs are used to indicate when the trunk lid or a door is not fully closed, or when a brake light is faulty. The bulbs will remain ON for about two
seconds after the ignition switch has been turned ON (II) to show that the system circuit is functioning.
Brake Light Bulb Failure Indicator:
If all brake light bulbs are OK, the indicator light stays off because the WHT/GRN wire is constantly being grounded by the brake light failure
sensor. With the brake light off, the ground is provided through the diode, the failure sensor relay coil, and the bulb filaments. With the brake light
on, both relays in the sensor, connected in series, supply ground. If either of the two bulbs is not working, the chain is broken and the WHT/GRN
wire is not being grounded. The indicator light comes on.
