For 1990-2009 cars only
This braking system uses a BRAKE warning light located in the instrument panel cluster.
The following conditions will activate the BRAKE lamp:
| • | The parking brake is applied when the ignition is ON. The lamp will turn off when the parking brake is released. |
| • | The fluid level is below the minimum mark in the master cylinder reservoir. The lamp will turn off when the fluid level is above the minimum. |
| • | As a test of the lamp circuit, the BRAKE lamp will glow dimly when the ignition is ON, even if the parking brake is off and the fluid level is above the minimum. The lamp will turn off when the engine is started. |
When the brake is firmly applied, the parking brake should hold the vehicle with ample pedal travel remaining. Inspect for frayed cables, rust, etc. or any condition that may inhibit present, or future free movement of the parking brake lever assembly.
