Ford Windstar break question. |
|
|
I have a 1995 Ford Windstar. The BRAKE idiot light is on and there are two
letters below it. One is a (P) and the other is a (I) Can someone tell me what
they mean? I lost my manual years ago. Also the ABS light is on. The ABS light
came on a couple of month ago but goes off at times. The BREAK light stays on
all the time. Brakes are fairly new. I just need to know what the P and I stand
for.
Also what would I check first for the ABS?
Thanks for your help.

Check both stop lights, make sure none of them blown. Hi mount stop light
will not
activate the brake light. Also check the brake fluid level.

The P is for park (its the parking brake light also) The I is an explanation
point (!) it means something is wrong with your brakes! get them fixed!

Check the brake fluid level and check the sensor that's on the master
cylinder , they leak a lot.
You can but a new sensor or replace the master cylinder due to age.
On your abs lite that's on, check if the gears on your axles are still there
, they sometimes crack/break(brake ?) and will set a code because different
speed readings.
Good luck
