Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic System
Rear Anti-Lock Brake System has a self test capability. There are 2 warning lights, located on instrument panel, to inform driver of malfunction. Red warning light indicates low fluid level, parking brake on or low vacuum (diesel models). A Yellow light indicates a malfunction in the system. This light should come on for approximately 2 seconds when ignition is turned on or engine is cranking. When control module detects a malfunction, the anti-lock brake system becomes inoperative and the Yellow warning light will come on.
