When the brake system warning light is illuminated, it is important to take the following steps:
- Check the brake fluid level: The most common problem indicated by the brake warning light is low brake fluid. Check the brake fluid reservoir to ensure it is full.
- Check the brake pads: Worn brake pads can cause the brake system warning light to illuminate. Inspect the brake pads to see if they are thin or worn out.
- Check the brake lines: If the brake lines are damaged or leaking, the brake system warning light may illuminate. Inspect the lines for any damage or leaks.
- Have the brake system inspected by a qualified technician: If you are unable to determine the cause of the warning light, it is important to have the vehicle's brake system inspected and diagnosed by a qualified technician.
Driving with a brake system problem can be dangerous, so it is important to address any problems as soon as possible.
