Brake Warning Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 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 ABS 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.
