Normal Operation of Warning Lamps

With the ignition in the Crank position, the BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate as a bulb check. The ANTI-LOCK warning lamp will illuminate for as little as 1 second to as long as 30 seconds.

If the car has not been started for several hours, for example after sitting overnight, the BRAKE warning lamp and the ANTI-LOCK warning lamp may both be illuminated for as long as 60 seconds after turning the ignition on. This condition is caused by the loss of accumulator charge when the vehicle is parked for extended periods, particularly in cold weather. When the key is then turned on, the pump/motor assembly must recharge the hydraulic accumulator to its normal operating pressure. As recharging is completed, both warning lamps will remain on until accumulator pressure reaches about (1,000 psi). Both lamps should remain off at all other times, indicating normal operation.
