WARNING!

If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is illumi-
nated you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust components and
cause a fire.

29. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,

including brake fluid level and parking brake

application. If the brake light turns on it may

indicate that the parking brake is applied or

that the brake fluid level is low.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been

disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the

master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake

hydraulic system malfunction. In this case, the light will

remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the

problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump

will run when applying the brake and a brake pedal

pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-

ity in the event of a failure of a portion of the hydraulic

system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is

indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on

when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has

dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp

cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi-

tions. The vehicle should have service performed and the

brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-

sary.
