Component Tests and General Diagnostics
The anti-lock brake system uses two warning indicators to alert the driver of malfunctions in the system.The red ``Brake'' warning lamp will come on for only two reasons:
1. If the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir falls below the level which is determined by the set point of the fluid level switch.
2. If the parking brake is applied.
The amber ``Check Anti-Lock Brake'' lamp will come on for numerous reasons. It warns the driver that the ABS has been turned off due to a symptom that exists in the system. Normal power braking remains but the wheels may lock during a panic stop while the warning lamp is on.
