I am not telling anyone to ignore or bypass critical warning lights like the brake failure - merely relating my experience. Both my "Brake Warning" light episodes on the 83 - many years apart - occurred simultaneously with the pedal going soft and giving much reduced braking action.

In other words the light only gave me the same warning my right foot and puckered butt did - Brakes Nearly Gone. Both cases involved a failed (gen. Volvo ATE) master cylinder.
