Diagnosis And Testing - Backup Lamp Switch
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Locate and disconnect the wire harness connector from the backup lamp switch connector receptacle.
- Check for continuity between the two terminal pins in the backup lamp switch connector receptacle.
- With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position, there should be continuity.
- With the gear selector lever in any position other than REVERSE, there should be no continuity.
- If the switch fails either of these two continuity tests, replace the ineffective backup lamp switch.
