The following conditions will activate the Brake indicator:
| • | An applied parking brake while the ignition switch is in run position |
| • | A low fluid level in the master cylinder |
For electrical diagnosis on the Brake warning system, refer to Brake Warning in Electrical Diagnosis.

| • | As the engine is cranked, the red BRAKE indicator and the amber ANTILOCK lamp should come ON |
| • | When the engine is started, both indicators should be Off |
