Under low brake fluid conditions, the low brake fluid switch closes. When closed, the low brake fluid switch grounds (circuit 333, BCM cavity J2-A5). The body control module (BCM) responds by sending a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn ON the brake warning light.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The ignition switch in RUN position.
    • Circuit 333, BCM short to ground or low brake fluid.
    • A 2 second delay to account for slosh.
    • Service (wrench) light will illuminate.
    • The brake light will illuminate with the ignition in RUN.

Diagnostic Aids

    • Inspect the wiring harness for damage. Check for broken or chafed insulation.
    • If the fault is suspected to be intermittent, wiggling the harness wiring may help in locating fault.
    • Check for poor connection at the BCM. Inspect the harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper terminal mating, broken connector locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal-to-wire connection (terminal crimped over wire insulation and not conductors).
