GMC 1998 Jimmy - Brake System Warning Light

Brake System Warning Light
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will come
on when you set your parking brake. The light
will stay on if your parlung brake doesn’t release fully.
If it stays on after your parlung brake is fully released, it
means you have a brake problem.
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts.
If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you.
For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

in the Index.)

Your brake system may not be working properly

with the brake system warning light

the vehicle towed for service.
