5-20 Instruments and Controls The vehicle may not pass inspection if: . The malfunction indicator lamp is on with the engine running, or if the light does not come on when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN while the engine is off. The critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system evaluates critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection, your dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. Brake System Warning Light The vehicle brake system consists of two hydraulic circuits. If one circuit is not working, the remaining circuit can still work to stop the vehicle. For normal braking performance, both circuits need to be working If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have the brake system inspected right away. . When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light also comes on when the parking brake is set. The light stays on if the parking brake does not fully release. If it stays on after the parking brake is fully released, it means the vehicle has a brake problem. If, while driving, the light comes on and a brake message comes on the Driver Information Center (DIC), pull off the road and stop carefully. The pedal could be harder to push or the pedal can go closer to the floor. It could take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light on page 5‑21 and Towing the Vehicle on page 10‑84. English Metric If the vehicle has antilock 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.
