Voltage is continuously applied to the brake switch. When brake switch is closed, voltage is applied to brakelights and terminal 1C11 (Light Blue wire) of anti-lock brake controller. The anti-lock brake controller can sense when brakes have been applied because voltage is received at the brake-apply input. To set Code A033, the following conditions must occur.
