Troubleshooting Hints

1. Check Fuse 39.
2. Check that G119 is clean and tight.
3. Check brake fluid. If low, refer to Brakes and Traction Control. Brakes and Traction Control
4. If brake fluid is low and the "BRAKE" Warning Indicator does not light, check the Brake Fluid Level Indicator Sensor.
5. If equipped with Antilock Brakes and "BRAKE" Warning Indicator is lit, check for trouble codes. Refer to Brakes and Traction Control. Brakes and Traction Control
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check with a system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (refer to General Troubleshooting Procedures). Diagnostic Aids
^ Refer to System Diagnosis. System Diagnosis
