21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected, the light will come on
while the engine is running. If the light remains
on with the engine running your vehicle will usually be
drivable, however, see your authorized dealer for service
as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the
engine is running, immediate service is required and you
may experience reduced performance, an elevated/
rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will illuminate when the ignition is first
turned ON and remain on for 15 seconds as a bulb check.
If the light does not come on during starting, have the
system checked by your authorized dealer.
22. BRAKE Warning Light
The red “BRAKE” warning light will illuminate when the
ignition key is first turned ON, and stay on briefly as a
bulb check. If the bulb does not illuminate on start-up,
have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light stays on, it
may be an indication that the parking brake has not been
released, or there is a low brake fluid level. If the light
remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or a problem with the brake booster.
In this case, the light will remain on until the condition
has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake.
If the parking brake is applied, the light will flash when
the shift lever is out of PARK for automatic transmis-
sions.
If the light comes on while driving, pull over immedi-
ately. Do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle towed to
the nearest authorized dealer.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-
sary. Operating the vehicle in this condition is dangerous!
