The answer is: False
When the brake warning light turns on when you apply the foot-brake pedal, it could mean the following things:
A burnt out brake light
Anti-lock brake sensor malfunction
Break pads low on material
Low battery voltage
Low brake fluid in the reservoir
Parking brake stuck on
The Brake Light Warning monitors the parking brake mechanism, the brake fluid in the resvoir, and any loss in pressure in the proportioning valve switch. It does not monitor the break pads. Instead, the Brake Wear Indicator Light monitors the brake pads, so the answer is false.
