Brake Warning Light System (AEROSTAR)

  1. Turn ignition switch to START position. If BRAKE warning light does not light, check lamp and wiring and repair as necessary.
  2. If warning light does not illuminate when fluid level in reservoir is low, warning light may be burned out, there may be an open in switch-to-light wiring or fluid level switch may be inoperative.
  3. Disconnect wiring harness from master cylinder. With a wire or other metallic object, short all three terminals in wiring harness connector. If the light does not illuminate, check bulb and replace if necessary. Check switch-to-lamp wires for open and repair. If light still does not illuminate, check parking brake switch.
  4. If light comes on when connector is shorted, problem is in master cylinder portion of circuit. Ensure wire from fluid level indicator switch-to-differential pressure switch is connected. Re-check warning light function. Otherwise replace reservoir assembly.
