You start the engine, and the brake warning light stays on. What does this show?

  1. The brakes are working well
  2. A serious brake problem may exist
  3. The engine is warm enough
  4. The doors are not closed
Show answer

Correct answer: A serious brake problem may exist

Warning lights must go out after the engine starts. Do not drive away if they stay on. A brake light that stays on may mean a serious brake fault.
