Brake

The IPC illuminates the brake indicator when the following occurs:
^ The Body Control Module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the park brake status. If the vehicle speed is greater than 5 km/h (3.1 mph) with the park brake engaged, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
^ The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition (signal circuit is low). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the BCM indicating that the brake indicator is illuminated due to a brake malfunction. The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
^ The EBCM detects a malfunction in the braking system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the BCM indicating that the brake indicator is illuminated due to a brake malfunction. The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
^ The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
^ The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the EBCM.
