Brake Warning Light Remains ON [11/2022 - ]: Procedure

1. Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake system warning light (red indicator) to turn off are met:
   1. The ABS warning light is not illuminated.

      HINT: 

      If the ABS warning light remains illuminated, make sure that the conditions required for the ABS warning light to turn off are met.

      Refer to ABS Warning Light Remains ON [11/2022 - ] 

   2. The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly is not low.
   3. Ensure that the brake booster has sufficient vacuum.

      HINT: 

      When the vacuum inside the brake booster decreases, the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on.

1. Using the GTS, check for Vehicle Control History (RoB).

   Chassis > Brake/EPB > Utility 

   Tester Display
   Vehicle Control History (RoB)

   HINT: 

   If vehicle control history (RoB) is stored when the electronically controlled brake system and electric parking brake system are suspended, the brake system warning light (red indicator) illuminates.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   There is no vehicle control history (RoB) for when the electronically controlled brake system and electric parking brake system were suspended.	A
   There is vehicle control history (RoB) for when the electronically controlled brake system and/or electric parking brake system were suspended.	B

Result: 

B 

PERFORM TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR REGARDING VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) 

Refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [11/2022 - 11/2023] , or refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [11/2023 - ]

   *a	Component without harness connected (Brake Fluid Level Warning Switch (Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Assembly))

   OK

   The connector is securely connected.

2. Disconnect the A67 brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) connector.
3. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

   OK

   No deformation or corrosion.

4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   HINT: 

   A float is located inside the reservoir. Its position changes according to the brake fluid level.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 (+) - 2 (E)	Switch off (float up)	10 kΩ or higher
   1 (+) - 2 (E)	Switch on (float down)	Below 1 Ω

5. If there is no problem after finishing the above check, adjust the brake fluid level to the MAX level.
