Brake System Indicator Light (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
The brake system indicator light comes on to alert
the driver that the parking brake is applied, or that
the brake fluid level is low. lt also comes on as a
bulb test when the engine is cranked.
Parking Brake
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied through fuse 25 to the brake
system light. When you apply the parking brake, the
switch closes and provides a ground for the light.
The light then comes on to remind you that the
parking brake is applied.
Brake Fluid Level
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
voltage is applied through fuse 25 to the brake
system light. lf the brake fluid level is low, the brake
fluid level switch closes, providing ground to the
circuit. The brake system light then comes on,
alerting the d verto a low brake fluid level in the
brake master cylinder. (Check brake pad wear
before you add fluid).
Bulb Check
With the ignition switch in START (lll) and clutch
pedal depressed or A'lT gear selector in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), voltage is applied through fuse 31
to the brake bulb check circuit. The brake bulb
check circuit closes, allowing current to flow through
the brake system light and bulb check circuit to
ground. The brake system light then comes on to
test the bulb.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.

Headlights (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
Low Beams
With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer
switch in LO, current tlows through the headlight
switch. fuse 21 . fuse 22. and the low beam
tilaments to ground, and the low beams come on.
High Beams
With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer
switch in Hl, current flows through the headlight
switch, dimmer switch, fuses 4, 5, and the high
beam filaments to ground, and the high beams
come on.
Current also llows through the high beam indicator
light to ground. The high beam indicator comes on
to remind the driver that the high beams are on.
Flash-to-Pass
The flash feature works with the headlight switch in
OFF, PARK, or HEAD (low beams). When you move
the flash-to-pass switch to ON, current flows
through the switch, fuses 4 and 5, and the high
beam filaments to ground, and the high beams
flash. The high beam indicator also flashes during
the flash operation. The flash function has no effect
if the high beams are already on
Daytime Running Lights (Canada)
When you turn the ignition to ON (ll) with the
parking brake released, the daytime running lights
control unit supplies battery voltage at the
WHT/RED wire. This voltage is applied to the high
beam headlights through the daytime running lights
resistor. Each high beam headlight receives less
than battery voltage causing them to come on at
reduced brightness.
lf the parking brake is set, a ground signal is applied
to the daytime running lights control unit at the
RED/GRN wire. lf the parking brake is set when you
first turn the ignition switch to ON (ll), the high beam
headlights will remain off until you release the
parking brake. Once the high beam headlights are
on, setting the parking brake will not turn them ofi.
When low or high beam operation is requested,
battery voltage from the headlight switch is applied
to the daytime running light control unit via the RED
wire. The daytime running lights control unit then
turns off the headlights.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or lroubleshootrng procedures.
