- If BRAKE warning light is on, disconnect brake fluid level switch connector. Connector is located on brake fluid reservoir. If BRAKE warning light is off, replace brake fluid level switch. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- If BRAKE warning light is on, use DRB-II in ohmmeter mode to check resistance on Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) Gray connector parking brake light control circuit (Gray/Black wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Gray/Black wire. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace instrument cluster printed circuit board. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
