The instrument panel cluster (IPC) sees the brake fluid level switch input opens and illuminates the Red Brake Warning indicator. The body control module (BCM) sees the park brake switch input grounded, it sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination of the Red Brake Warning indicator. The IPC detects a closed power brake booster alarm switch and closed power brake booster fluid flow alarm switch. The IPC illuminates the brake warning indicator and sends a serial data message to the radio requesting the brake warning alarm. After the vehicle has been started and the proper power steering pressure and/or flow has been reached the switch will open and turn off the Red Brake Warning indicator and chime.
