Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR DTC C1090-ABS BRAKE LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
- Start the engine.
- Apply pressure to the brake pedal firmly with at least 80 bar (1160 psi.).
- With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: C1090-ABS BRAKE LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector and the Brake Lamp Relay harness connector.
Is the Anti-Lock Brake Module or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- CHECK (B221) STOP LAMP RELAY OVER-RIDE SIGNAL SHORTED TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module
- Turn the key on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (B221) Stop Lamp Relay OVER-RIDE Signal circuit at the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate?
Yes
- Replace the Anti-Lock Brake Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .

- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- BRAKE LAMP RELAY
- Turn the ignition off.
- Measure the resistance of the (B221) Stop Lamp Relay OVER-RIDE Signal Circuit between the Brake Lamp Relay and the Anti-Lock Brake Module.
Is the resistance below 5 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Brake Lamp Relay in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair open in the (B221) Brake Lamp Inhibit Relay Control circuit.
