Component Inspection

■ Brake light switch Check 

  1. Ignition switch 'OFF'.
  2. Disconnect the brake light switch connector.
  3. Measure resistance between power terminal and signal terminal of the brake light switch connector.

    Specification: 

    Resistance between terminals of the brake light switch - ∞Ω (when the plunger is pushed down), 0 Ω (when the plunger is not pushed down).

    Resistance between the terminals of the brake switch - ∞Ω (when the plunger is not pushed down), 0 Ω (when the plunger is pushed down).

  4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

    YES 

    • Substitute with a known-good stop signal relay and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace stop signal relay and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good brake light switch and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace brake light switch and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
