Brake System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
All vehicles use a brake system warning indicator in the instrument panel to warn of system concerns. The Red brake warning light (BRAKE) is used to indicate a low fluid level, a brake concern, or a parking brake that is not fully released. The brake fluid level switch is located in the brake fluid reservoir.
The Yellow brake warning indicator is used to indicate a concern or deactivation of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). It illuminates when triggered by the ABS control module, and stays illuminated as long as the concern remains in the system.
