Brake Warning Indicator
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when one or more of the following occurs:
• | The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting illumination. |
• | The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition. The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM requesting illumination. |
• | The EBCM detects an ABS malfunction which disables dynamic rear proportioning (DRP). The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM requesting illumination. |
• | The IPC performs the bulb check at the start of each ignition cycle. The brake warning indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds before turning OFF. |
• | The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM or with the EBCM. |
