Warning Light Switch

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1998 GMC Yukon, and 1998 GMC Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Fill master cylinder reservoir. Attach bleeder hose to bleeder screw at either rear wheel. Immerse other end of hose in container of brake fluid. Turn ignition on.
  2. While depressing brake pedal, open bleeder screw (close bleeder screw before releasing pedal). On all models except Astro and Safari, if light comes on, go to next step. If light does not come on, switch is defective; replace combination valve.
  3. Close bleeder screw. Depress brake pedal with moderate to heavy pressure. If light goes out, switch is okay. If light stays on, switch is defective, replace combination valve. Repeat test on front brake system. System should function in same manner as rear.
