WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)
- Disconnect the A28 stop light switch assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A28-1 (B) - A28-3 (GND) Power switch off 11 to 14 V A28-5 (B) - A28-3 (GND) Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A28-3 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Stop Light Switch Assembly) - Reconnect the A28 stop light switch assembly connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the A28 stop light switch assembly connector.
- INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A28-2 (L) - A28-3 (GND) Power switch off, brake pedal not depressed Below 1 V Power switch off, brake pedal depressed 11 to 14 V A28-4 (L) - A28-3 (GND) Power switch on (IG), brake pedal not depressed 11 to 14 V Power switch on (IG), brake pedal depressed Below 1 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Stop Light Switch Assembly)
NG → See step 5
OK: Go to next step
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU - STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the A33 power management control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the A28 stop light switch assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A33-23 (STP) - A28-2 (L) Always Below 1 Ω A33-7 (ST1-) - A28-4 (L) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A33-23 (STP) or A28-2 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A33-7 (ST1-) or A28-4 (L) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the A28 stop light switch assembly connector.
- Reconnect the A33 power management control ECU connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 4
- REPLACE POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
- REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
