SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON... THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD ONLY COME ON WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED. A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WHEN THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET IS A FALSE WARNING AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED ! THIS OCCURS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND WILL CLEAR UPON RESTART. A FALSE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS WORSE THAN NO LIGHT AT ALL SINCE IF A REAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DOES OCCUR THE DRIVE WOULD BE UNAWARE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON MOST DODGE TRUCKS.
