WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
the instrument panel cluster illuminates the brake warning indicator when the following occurs:
- The body control module detects that the park brake is engaged. The instrument panel cluster receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting illumination. The brake warning indicator flashes at a rate of approximately twice per second when the park brake is engaged.
- The electronic brake control module detects a low brake fluid condition or a base brake pressure differential and sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster requesting illumination.
- The instrument panel cluster performs the bulb check.
- The EBCM detects an ABS disabling condition which also disables the dynamic rear proportioning and sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster requesting illumination.
