Possible cause/consequence
The battery is faulty.
The SBC TM brake system requires electri-
cal power, therefore its operational func-
tionality is now limited.
You need to use considerably more force
to brake. The brake pedal travel and the
braking distance will increase. If neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal with maxi-
mum force.
The brake pads/linings have reached
their wear limit.
G Risk of accident
There is insufficient brake fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir.
You are driving with the parking brake
applied.
Possible solution
Pull over as soon as it is safe to do so.
