Brake Warning Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake warning indicator is a dual colored indicator, located in the coolant temperature gage, that illuminates amber for emergency brake assist (EBA) faults and red for electronic brake force distribution (EBD) faults. The brake warning indicator is also used to give warnings of:
- Low brake fluid level (illuminates red). Refer to Hydraulic Brake Actuation .
- Brake pad wear (illuminates red). Refer to Rear Disc Brake .
Operation of the brake warning indicator, for emergency brake assist (EBA) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) faults, is controlled by high speed controller area network (CAN) bus messages from the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module to the instrument cluster.
When the ignition switch is first turned to position II, the brake warning indicator illuminates amber for approximately 1 second then red for approximately 1 second, as a bulb check.
