Yes, technically. When it comes to parts on a car, a stop lamp typically meets the exact definition of a brake light, and in many cases, the terms are interchangeable. But, the specific "check stop lamp" warning on Volvo vehicles may not only refer to the brake light. This warning can also refer to the taillights that stay illuminated and provide nighttime visibility to drivers behind you, as they may be integrated with the brake-light circuitry. When you see a stop lamp warning, be sure to have it diagnosed as soon as possible to restore vehicle safety.
