A very simple way to test the light is to remove the spare tire, remove the cover, and with the key on slowly lift the sender unit out of the tank until the low fuel light goes on. While you are in there ther is a test button on the brake resovoir to test the low brake fluid light. Neither light does not "self test" when you start the car. The other condition that light s the brake light is the emergency brake.
