Normal/Indicator System Operation

The standard brake system uses a single red BRAKE warning indicator, which is located in the instrument panel cluster.

The antilock brake system uses the following indicators:
- The red BRAKE warning indicator
- An amber ABS warning indicator

The following indicators will turn on for approximately three seconds and then turn off when the ignition is turned to the RUN position:
- The amber ABS warning indicator
- The red BRAKE warning indicator

The amber ABS indicator lamp will be illuminated to alert the driver of a malfunction. This indicates that the malfunction affects operation of ABS. Normal (non-antilock) braking will remain. In order to regain ABS braking ability, the ABS must be serviced.

The red BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate when the park brake is set (direct input to IPC) or when the brake fluid level switch within the master cylinder reservoir drops below a safe level (commanded by the EBCM via serial data link).
