Brake Light (Red) Self Check

The red BRAKE warning indicator is used to indicate a low fluid level condition or parking brake applied condition. To check this light, insert the key in the ignition switch and turn it to the START position. The warning indicator should glow in this position. If it fails to glow, go to the symptom chart.

Allow the key to spring back from the "START" position to the "RUN" position. At this time the red BRAKE warning indicator should turn off. If it does not turn off, recheck the parking brake switch to make sure that it is fully disengaged. In the event that the red BRAKE warning indicator remains on, go to the Symptom Chart.
