DESCRIPTION
The BRAKE warning light comes on when the brake fluid is insufficient, the parking brake is applied or the EBD is defective.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: When releasing the parking brake, move the shift lever into the P position in an AT vehicle, and choke in an MT vehicle to hold the vehicle for safety.
1 CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check that the brake fluid level is proper.
2 CHECK DTC
(a) Are the DTC recorded? (See page BC-82)
Result
REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS
3 CHECK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
ABS / VSC:
(a) WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER: (1) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Select the item "BRAKE WARN LIGHT" in the ACTIVE TEST and operate the BRAKE warning light on the intelligent tester.
(4) Check that "ON" and "OFF" of the BRAKE warning light are indicated on the combination meter when using the intelligent tester.
OK: Turn the BRAKE warning light on or off in accordance with the intelligent tester.
(b) WHEN NOT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER: (1) Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the connector from the skid control ECU.
(2) Ground terminal BRL of the skid control ECU.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(4) Check that the brake warning light.
OK: Turn the light on or off in accordance with the connection of terminal GND and BRL.
NOTICE: When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See page BC-70).
