Brake System Indicators
Brake
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the BRAKE indicator when any
of the following occurs:
| • | The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is applied and
sends serial data message to illuminate indicator. |
| • | The IPC detects a low brake fluid condition. |
| • | The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a malfunction with
the antilock brake system (ABS). The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM
requesting illumination. |
| • | The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition
cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 5 seconds. |
Check Brake Fluid
The IPC illuminates the CHECK BRAKE FLUID indicator in the driver information
center (DIC) and sends a serial data message in order to activate an audible warning
when the IPC detects that the brake fluid level is below the normal operating range.
