WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix and 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The IPC illuminates the brake indicator when the following occurs:
- The Body Control Module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination. If the vehicle is shifted out of park with the park brake engaged, the BCM activates an audible warning.
- The IPC detects a low brake fluid condition (signal circuit is low).
- The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
