What makes "Brake Failure" light up? And what are you supposed to do when it *does* light up? Throw out your anchor?My guess is it senses a loss of pressure in the front hydraulic system. You should still have a rear brake, so I would use it and evasive maneuvers .
The front brake master cylinder and its fluid level/condition need to be checked, like beemuker indicates. The tank needs to be lifted because the front brake master cylinder is under it.
The light could have been labeled Brake
Fluid but
Failure is more emphatic. :yikes:
