Brake Warning Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. 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 amber). Refer to REAR DISC BRAKE .
Operation of the brake warning indicator is controlled by a high speed controller area network (CAN) bus message 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 1.5 seconds then red for approximately 1.5 seconds, as a bulb check.
