This procedure is for troubleshooting when the brake system warning light (red indicator) remains on but no DTCs are output.
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) controls the brake system warning light (red indicator) in the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.
Before performing this procedure, depress the brake pedal and confirm that the stop lights illuminate.
Check that all of the following conditions required for the brake system warning light (red indicator) to turn off are met:
The ABS warning light are not illuminated.
If the ABS warning light remains illuminated, make sure that the conditions required for the ABS warning light to turn off are met.
The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir assembly is not low.
Ensure that the brake booster has sufficient vacuum.
When the vacuum inside the brake booster decreases, the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on.

| Vehicle Control History (RoB) |
If vehicle control history (RoB) is stored when the electronically controlled brake system and electric parking brake system are suspended, the brake system warning light (red indicator) illuminates.

After performing troubleshooting and repair regarding vehicle control history (RoB), clear the vehicle control history (RoB).
The brake fluid level warning switch (brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) is normal.
