The Mechanical Cluster; Brake System Warning Light - Ford Econoline/Club Wagon E-150 Owner's Manual

The Mechanical Cluster

The following warning lights and gauges are on
the mechanical cluster. All of the warning lights
and gauges alert you to possible problems with
your vehicle. Some of the lights listed are
optional. The following sections detail what each
of these indicators means.

Brake System Warning Light

The red warning light for the brakes can show
three things — that either the parking brake is
not fully released, that the brake fluid level is
low in the master cylinder reservoir or the
vacuum pressure is low on diesel engine
vehicles. If the fluid level is low, the brake
system should be checked by a qualified service
technician.
This light comes on when you turn the ignition
key to START to verify that the indicator bulb is
working. If the light stays on or comes on after
you have released the parking brake fully, have
the hydraulic brake system serviced.
The BRAKE light indicates that the brakes
may not be working properly. Have the
brakes checked immediately.
