Brake Warning And Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Lights
There are three warning lights for the brake system.
- Handbrake warning light (1)
- ABS (Anti-lock) warning light (2)
- Brake warning light (3)
NOTE:
- The handbrake warning light is not affected by the ABS system.
- Nor does ABS affect the fluid level warning light.
- The handbrake and fluid level warning lights are not controlled by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
Brake Warning Light On
The warning light alone will come on if the level of fluid in the reservoir drops below the MIN mark.
The brakes and ABS system will continue to operate normally. The car must not be driven any further until it has been inspected, as the cause may be a leak in the system.
ABS Warning Light On
The ABS (Anti-lock) warning light alone will come on if the ECU detects a fault in the ABS system.
Conventional braking power will be available but the ABS system will be inoperative.
