Brake Warning Indication
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake warning indicator supports three separate functions. Those functions are brake system failure, low brake fluid level, and engagement of the parking brake control. These functions are controlled by the parking brake control switch, the brake fluid level switch and the brake system itself. The brake fluid level switch and the parking brake control switch are hardwired directly to the FEM. The status of both the fluid and parking brake control switches is sent from the FEM to the instrument cluster via the SCP communication network. The brake system status is sent from the ABS/TC/IVD to the instrument cluster via the SCP communication network.
