TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

NOTE: This DTC will set if the Brake Switch, the Brake Lamp Switch, or
both switches are inoperative. It will be necessary to verify the functional-
ity of each switch.
NOTE: If the Brake Switch and the Brake Lamp Switch are inoperative, it
will be necessary to diagnose BOTH circuits.
Turn the ignition off.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIII

t in Inputs/Outputs, monitor the Brake Lamp Switch state while

pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
Does the DRBIII

t display change from OPEN to CLOSED as the brake pedal is

pressed and released?

All

Yes

→ Go To 2

→ Go To 5

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the appropriate brake switch harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch
Output circuit at the harness connector.
NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to
that of a direct connection to the battery.
Is the test light illuminated and bright?

All

Yes

→ Go To 7

→ Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit for an open.

Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the CAB harness connector.
Disconnect the appropriate brake switch harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the output circuit at the brake switch harness connector.
NOTE: Measurement is taken at the Brake Switch Output circuit or the
Brake Lamp Output circuit as determined by the previously performed
switch test.
Is there any voltage present?

All

Yes

→ Repair the affected circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Go To 8

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the CAB harness connector.
Disconnect the appropriate brake switch harness connector.
