Does anyone with a 2015 BB Vision with Hydraulic brakes have any drivers complaining of a "quiet" alarm coming from the dash board with the information display stating "brake contact"?
I have contacted my dealer, but have to wait until the service manager gets back from vacation.
There is nothing in either the drivers manual or service manual that has that warning.
Thanks in advance,

EDIT update: the info center actually says: MISSING BRAKE INPUT, along with a soft alarm tone.

We have this message on our 2016 BB visions with Air brakes. The result is the driver isn't pushing hard enough on the brake pedal while changing gears.

Thank you RonF, I have 2016 Air Brake birds also, but if the driver doesn't push the brake pedal while changing gears, the display reads "Range Inhibit" and won't allow transmission to shift out of neutral. I'll ask the driver to make a concerted effort to apply the brakes, but I know what the response will be!

I feel your pain. I have an excellent group of drivers that don't give me that grief anymore. It's like it's your fault, isn't it? lol

I have a 2015 & 2016 hyd brake units but have never had these problems. Sorry
