Brake System Warning
Light
The vehicle’s hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts.
If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop the
vehicle. For good braking both
parts need to be working well.
If the warning light comes on,
there is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.
If the vehicle has anti-lock brakes,
this light should come on when the
key is turned to START. If it does not
come on, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn if there is a problem.When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light also comes
on when the parking brake is
set. The light will stay on if the
parking brake does not fully release.
If it stays on after the parking
brake is fully released, it means
there is a brake problem.
{CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light
on can lead to a crash. If the light
is still on after the vehicle has been
pulled off the road and carefully
stopped, have the vehicle towed
for service.
See Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light later in this section
and Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light on page 4-17 .
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
The ABS warning light comes on
briefly when the ignition key is turned
to ON/RUN. This is normal. If the
light does not come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition
to LOCK/OFF. If the light comes
on while driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off.
Then start the engine again to
reset the system. If the light still
stays on, or comes on again while
driving, the vehicle needs service.
If the regular brake system warning
light is not on, there are still
brakes, but no antilock brakes.

9-32 Vehicle Care

TPMS Malfunction Light
The TPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the TPMS sensors
are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
low tire warning light flashes for
about one minute and then stays
on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. The low tire warning light
comes on at each ignition cycle until
the problem is corrected. Some of
the conditions that can cause the
malfunction light to come on are:
•One of the road tires has been
replaced with the spare tire.
The spare tire does not have
a TPMS sensor. The TPMS
malfunction light and DIC
message should go off once
you re-install the road tire
containing the TPMS sensor.
•The initialization (reset) procedure
failed. See “TPMS Reset” later in
this section.
•One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged.
The TPMS malfunction light
should go off when the TPMS
sensors are installed and the
sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See
your dealer/retailer for service.
•Replacement tires or wheels do
not match the vehicle’s original
equipment tires or wheels. Tires
and wheels other than those
recommended for your vehicle
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. SeeBuying
New Tires on page 9-56.
•Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
•If tire chains are installed on the
vehicle.
•If there is a lot of snow or ice
around the wheels or wheel
housings.
•If a window tint that affects the
radio wave signals is installed.
If the TPMS is not functioning it
cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer/retailer for
service if the TPMS malfunction light
comes on and stays on.
