BRAKE WARNING LIGHT INOP INFORMATION - BERLINETTA

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984-85 CAMARO BERLINETTA

Late in 1984, the Berlinetta instrument wiring was revised to prevent electronic displays from flickering while cranking. This change inadvertently eliminated the "Brake" warning light bulb check during cranking. In 1984, the panel was again revised to restore the normal bulb check. Wiring schematics for the three designs are shown in Figure 1.

The warning function of the "Brake" Light remains operational with all three designs. However, the bulb check function in the second design is performed by applying the parking brake at the time the engine is started.

VIN breakpoints for affected second design.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
