Brake Low Vacuum Warning
Light
This light should come on briefly
when the engine control switch is
turned to the ON position, and then
should go out after the engine is
started. If the light does not come
on when the engine control switch is
turned to ON, it could indicate a
burned out bulb or a blown fuse.
Have the system repaired if the light
does not come on during this check.
The warning light and buzzer will
come on simultaneously when the
brake booster’s vacuum or pressure
becomes insufficient either during
driving or when the engine control
switch is in the ON position, or when
there is an abnormality in the
charging system, such as an
alternator malfunction or loosening
or splitting of the fan belt or whenever the hydraulic brake
booster (HBB) becomes faulty. The
warning buzzer will stop sounding
when the parking brake is engaged.
On 4500HD and 4500XD, the brake
low vacuum warning light and
warning buzzer should come on to
indicate low vacuum reserve for
brake power assist. At the same
time, the Back up Electric Vacuum
Pump operates.
(5500HD, 5500XD models) When
the HBB pressure is low, and/or the
HBB fluid (Dexron
–VI) level is low,
the light and warning buzzer should
come on. Do not use brake fluid in
the brake booster reservoir. Use
only Dexron –VI ATF.
If this happens while driving:
. Do not pump the brakes. The
system is designed to stop the
truck with reserve power assist if
the pedal is held down. This
reserve is greatly reduced each
time you apply and release the
brakes.
. Stopping distance may be
longer. .
You may have to push much
harder on the brake pedal.
. Have the vehicle repaired before
you continue driving.
The buzzer stops when the selector
lever is shifted to the P position.
{Warning
Do not drive while the buzzer
sounds as the brakes are not
operating to their full capacity.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Antilock Brake System

Bulb Replacement
Caution
Do not replace incandescent
bulbs with aftermarket LED
replacement bulbs. This can
cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system.
Bulbs
1. Check each bulb for blowout.
2. If a bulb has blown out, replaceit. Always place the engine
control switch in the “LOCK”
position and place all the other
switches in the “OFF”position
before replacing the blown
bulbs.
3. If you need assistance replacing any bulbs, contact
your dealer.
Turn Signals
The flasher unit activates both the
turn signal circuits and the hazard
circuit. Should a lamp burn out, the

278 Vehicle Care
flasher unit will continue to operate.
Check the turn signal lamps visually
before the vehicle is used.
Bulb Wattage
{Warning
Using bulbs with a wattage other
than that specified could cause
the bulb or the wiring to become
hot. This could result in the
warping of the lens and case, and
it could also lead to the outbreak
of fire.
Bulbs are hot immediately after
they go out. When replacing the
bulbs, avoid being burned by
making sure they are fully cooled.
Never drive the vehicle with the
bulbs not working. This could
result in an accident.
You and others could be seriously
injured.When one bulb of a pair of lamps,
such as a headlamp blows out, the
other bulb is approaching the end of
its useful life. We recommend that
both be changed at the same time.
For the lamps (lighting equipment)
such as headlamps, inside of the
lens can mist up momentarily when
driving in the rain or during the car
wash. Also, the temperature
difference between inside and
outside of the lamps can sometimes
cause the water condensation
inside the lens. This is not abnormal
because this is the same
phenomenon as the windshield or
door glass fogs up when it rains.
If the mist goes away minutes after
the lamp is turned on, things are
normal.
