Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK STOP LIGHT & BRAKE SWITCH. 
Check the stop light & brake switch. Refer to STOP LIGHT & BRAKE SWITCH .
Is the stop light & brake switch and installation position OK? Go to step 2.  Replace the stop light & brake switch. Or adjust the installation position.
2 CHECK STOP LIGHT & BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the stop light & brake switch harness connector.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between harness connector terminal and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B65) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step 3. 
  • Check fuse No. 8 (in fuse & relay box).
  • Check for open or short circuit in the harness between stop light/brake switch and fuse and relay box.
3 CHECK STOP LIGHT & BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
Measure the voltage between harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B65) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step 4. 
  • Check fuse No. 4 (in fuse & relay box).
  • Check for open or short circuit in the harness between stop light/brake switch and fuse and relay box.
4 CHECK STOP LIGHT & BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the harness connector of ECM.
  3. Measure the resistance between ECM harness connector terminal and stop light & brake switch harness connector terminal.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B136) No. 3 - (B65) No. 3: 

    (B136) No. 15 - (B65) No. 1: 

Is the resistance less than 10 Ω? Replace the ECM. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) . Repair the harness.
