The light will go off as soon as the light or the circuit to the light is repaired, if it is still on and the brake lights work correctly, meaning bright normal not dim looking then the monitor for the lamp out warning is defective, they are very pricey would take the bulbs out if i where you.

2001 pontiac bonneville sse super charge engian what typ of gas to put in

the higher the compression ratio the higher the octane rating required
normal compression ratio 10 or 11:1 will run on 91 or 95 octane rating
higher will require 100-110 octane rating or aircraft engine gas
superchargers only increase the amount of air available for combustion
it is the compression ratio that determines the octane rating required

1995 pontiac bonneville brack system warning light and chime on.

Be aware that if the (BRAKE!) light is on you are probably low on brake fluid and while your brakes are still working properly, there is a possible fluid leak somewhere that is going to causse them to not work at all. When this light is on it is serious. Although the sensor in the master cylinder that tells this light to come on is probably the answer, as they tend to malfunction in your vehicle. Check your brake fluid immediately, and fill it if it is legitimately low.
If the (ABS) brake light is on it is probably an ABS speed sensor in the vehicle that is bad, If the abs light is on have a service center do a diagnostic scan to verify which sensor is bad.

With the key OFF, turn on parking lamps and emergency flashers. Then walk around the entire car, looking for lamps changing brilliance. Any that DON'T change brilliance either have a bad bulb or a bad ground connection!
