WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 GMC Yukon XL, 2010 GMC Yukon, 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when the following occurs.
- The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting illumination. The brake warning indicator flashes at a rate of approximately twice per second when the park brake is engaged.
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition or a base brake pressure differential and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
- The IPC performs the bulb check.
- The EBCM detects an ABS-disabling malfunction which also disables electronic brake distribution (EBD) and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
