Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: Brake Hold Operated Indicator Light Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The brake hold operated indicator light illuminates when the brake hold system is operating (vehicle stopped due to brake fluid pressure hold) and turns off when the brake hold system operation is finished (brake fluid pressure decreases).

The brake hold system may not operate depending on vehicle conditions even when the system is in standby mode and the brake hold standby indicator light is illuminated.
