Switch, Parking Brake: Removal
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Working under the driver side of the instrument panel, access and disconnect the wiring harness connector (2) from the park brake switch (4), located on the park brake lever mechanism (1) at the cowl side inner panel (LHD) or the floor panel transmission tunnel (RHD).
- Remove the Park Brake Switch Mounting Screw (3) securing the park brake switch to the park brake lever mechanism.
- Remove the park brake switch.
