How does the brake light work on a GMC C6500?
The low air pressure switch turns on the PRIMARY BRAKE warning lamp when the engine is started, and the lamp remains on until the system reaches normal pressure. If the system air pressure drops below 503 kPa (73 psi), when the ignition is on, the low air pressure switch turns on the warning lamp and the module sounds a constant tone alarm.
What causes the brake warning light to come on?
It can also be the result in worn disc brake pads. If you see the Brake Warning Light illuminated, it is probably a leak. Although, if you have a fluid level sensor in the master cylinder reservoir, you may see this light come on when the fluids are low. Brake failure is common if the fluid leaks out of the system.
When does the GMC C6500 aux warning light and alarm sound?
If the system air pressure drops below 503 kPa (73 psi), when the ignition is on, the low air pressure switch turns on the warning lamp and the module sounds a constant tone alarm. If the coolant level becomes very low, the module also turns on the LOW COOLANT warning lamp and sounds an alarm at five beats per second.
When does the aux brake warning light turn on?
If the module detects a malfunction in the auxiliary electric pump system, the module turns on the AUX BRAKE warning lamp and sounds a continuous alarm.

How do you know if your Chevy has a brake problem?
You will find the booster between the master cylinder and the firewall in your engine compartment. A check valve that is faulty can also let vacuum bleed out.
