Brake system warning lamp
The brake system warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a red LED and a clear legend. If the brake fluid
level is low, the hand brake is operated or there is a brake system fault, the LED will be illuminated providing the driver
with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument pack illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is
no fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
There are two configurations of the legend for the warning lamp:

NAS only.
All other markets.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The hand brake switch, the low brake fluid
level switch or the SLABS ECU provides the earth path illuminating the warning lamp.
The hand brake switch has a separate connection to the vehicle body. The low brake fluid switch connects to an earth
header joint.
On the earth paths to the instrument pack the warning lamp is controlled according to these voltages:

< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
